The aquaculture adventure started approximately 30 years ago when success factors in breeding domestic animals were introduced to salmon, and further to controlled, farmed fish. A breeding programme was established, and since then progress has been made within every cornerstone in the production of aquatic food. The Institute of Aquaculture Research (AKVAFORSK) has been a major contributor to the development of aquaculture production.
