Seafood

Seafood is among Norway’s most important export products with an annual export value of around NOK 45 billion.

The raw materials from fisheries and aquaculture are processed for a host of different markets and customers with different expectations and requirements for quality. In this context, it is important there is research and knowledge about raw materials, processes and production that contribute to the production of quality products and, as such, contributes to a good reputation for Norwegian fish and seafood.

Through research, we will contribute knowledge and expertise within the fields of quality and production, raw material properties, processing and process technology and instrumental methods for documentation and control. Our research covers processing of fish and seafood, instrumental methods for quality control and automation, and seafood and health.
