Sammendrag
Abstract The northern periphery countries of Europe (Iceland, Norway and Scotland, along with Russia), aim to establish sustainable production of cod fry to promote successful cod farming in this region. The project is uniquely organised around networks of research institutes and producers of juvenile cod in the participating countries. Several technical and biological obstacles are being examined by the multi-country teams and findings will be transferred to the commercial hatcheries throughout the northern periphery area. This work includes addressing high levels of abnormal development of cod juveniles, improving growth rates and production through control of maturation, benchmarking of fry production and collaboration in producing a cod hatchery manual. NorthCod project partners are exchanging information and standardising fish production information in the northern periphery area to maximise knowledge of production systems and improve their efficiency.
