                  SEA FARM ADVANCES WITH MARINE FISH

The Sea Farm group in Norway expects its production of cod juveniles for on-
growing to reach a new record level of 170,000 this year. Active since 1987 in devel-
oping the farming of marine species, Sea Farm says that the increase in cod results
from the application of new methods. “The most essential element in this process, it
explains, “is an early catch of juveniles from the lagoon for weaning in tanks. This
method has proved successful but there is still more problem with the cod’s canniba-
listic nature and the quality of available feed.”
Halibut work is also progressing and Sea Farms sees this fish as the most interesting
species in a Norwegian context. It gets priority in the company’s research and de-
velopment work. According to Sea Farm, the 1988 and 1989 seasons mark a final
breakthrough in production of halibut juveniles. The technique developed is succed-
ing. It is based on the stocking of halibut larvae in silos and start feeding in bags or
tanks using natural zooplankton.
Sea Farm reported that it had produced more than 3000 halibut juveniles. It says that
the main tasks in future will be increasing the scale of the operation, and modifying
the production plant drawing on present experience.
“Our production goal for 1990 is set at 50,000 juvenile halibut,” says Sea Farm “we
believe that this goal is fully realistic, based on the known-how we have gained and
the survival we have achieved from egg to juvenile.” One of the priorities is to estab-
lish a brood fish inventory, which has enabled Sea Farm to plan a considerable pro-
duction of halibut eggs for the future. “The halibut has shown very good growth and
mortality has been low “ says the company. The farmed halibut will be a high-quality
product and the fish has a high market potential.
