About the technology
SMOLTR is a smolt-verification tool to be utilized in the smoltification process of salmon. Data indicates that this technology is superior to current commercially available options, this robust tool will ensure long-term salmonid growth and welfare in seawater. SMOLTR is based on a set of superior and precise markers that can predict seawater performance and can be used to synchronize the seawater readiness with seawater transfer. Thus, the animal welfare is superior with SMOLTR compared to state of the art.
Value proposition
- Predicts smolt development state
- Predicts long-term seawater survival and growth
- Provides highly accurate results with regards to smolt seawater readiness with less bias and variation than state of the art
- Animal welfare increased due to optimal timing of smolt transfer to seawater
Areas of application
- Test before smolt is transferred to seawater
- Tool to evaluate smoltification protocol optimizations within R&D for farmers
- Could be offered by service and lab analytic providers serving the Aquaculture industry
- Internal test by smolt producers
Resources and partners
- Department of Arctic and Marine Biology, UiT
- Proof of concept validated in lab scale
- Patent pending
