Skretting aquaculture research centre's RAS facilities set to accelerate knowledge and support growth

To enable researchers to conduct precise experiments on its latest closed system feed formulations in strict, closely monitored environmental conditions, Skretting recently expanded its Lerang Research Station in Stavanger, Norway, to include a state-of-the-art recirculation hall.

Comprising 12 independent recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), predominantly conducting trials for salmon product development, this new facility enables research on feed and formulations, and also evaluates feed interactions and influences on system performance.

With the recirculation hall now complete, it joins Skretting"s existing infrastructure of recirculation research units, located in Chile and Australia. Their importance is growing quickly as more innovative production facilities emerge that require customised feeds.
