Venue/Time:  Hall H, Aqua Nor, 20/8 2015 12:00 – 14:30

The fourth Future Prospects seminar during AquaNor in Trondheim challenges scientists, equipment suppliers and salmon producers to lecture on two themes – closed systems and exposed farming. SINTEF, akvARENA, AVS Chile and the Nor-Fishing Foundation are this year’s organizers.

The speakers will present why they have chosen their technological solution, what they have learned during the development so far and how they see their future. The global perspective under AquaNor makes this year’s program more international than ever. Speakers from Norway, Canada, Chile and the Faroe Islands meet to share knowledge and experience across the salmon producing community. Each presenter will speak for 15 minutes and get follow-up questions from the audience and the chair, Karl A. Almaas.

The seminar is free of charge and open to all participants at AquaNor.
