Discover HI’s Presence at One Ocean Week in Havveka
One Ocean Week kicks off next week, and Norway’s Institute of Marine Research (HI) is gearing up to participate in several exciting events. This year, the focus will be on fish, feed, research, and film.
Norwegian Feed for Farmed Fish
A typical salmon consumes about 30 grams of feed per day, totaling 2 million tons of feed annually. Currently, only eight percent of the feed consists of Norwegian ingredients, while the rest is imported. The government aims to raise the Norwegian share to 25 percent, representing an increase of over 300,000 tons of ingredients.
The Institute of Marine Research is hosting a discussion on how to achieve this goal, with State Secretary Even Tronstad Sagebakken representing the government.
Time: Monday, 7 April at 3:30-4:45 PM
Location: Havrommet on Skoltegrunnskaien

See the North Sea with Different Eyes

Please note that this event is held in English and requires registration.
