Facts about Gunn Berit Olsson

I work as a director of research for the Fish Health and I am responsible for 30 persons located at Ås and in Tromsø. I am educated as Aquamedicine biologist from the University of Tromsø and I have a PhD in Marin Biochemistry.

I have worked for several years with quality aspects of farmed fish mainly related to how farming conditions and feed composition influences the fish quality.
