A study of the environmental conditions around fish farms reveals a surprising trend.

A study of the environmental conditions around fish farms reveals a surprising trend.

The researchers have focused on how efficiently the feed is used, how much nutrient waste fish farming releases into the marine environment, and how life on the seabed changes.

“Our results show a significant geographical variation in both feed utilization and nutrient emissions. Efficiency increases steadily from south to north in Norway,” said Chun-Deng Wang from NTNU’s Department of Biology.
