One step closer to sustainable seaweed aquaculture in Norway
One step closer to sustainable seaweed aquaculture in Norway

Seaweed is an interesting marine resource that might become an important source of protein in the future. It grows all along the Norwegian coast, but so far, we have not utilized its full potential. Seaweed cultivation can grow into a sustainable and commercially viable activity, with positive effects on climate. To achieve this, it is crucial that we increase our knowledge on the topic.
The
international research project PROMAC aims to contribute to this. Møreforsking
have participated in this research for several years. In our latest work, we
have analyzed several possible scenarios of protein production from farmed
seaweed. Thus, we have addressed the environmental impacts of imported soya
protein from Brazil used as fish feed ingredient in Norway.

possible scenarios of protein-production from farmed seaweed, you will find our
