The NOK 75 million (€7.7 million/$8.8 million) EU project Fishboost will conclude at the end of January following five years of research into improving production of Atlantic salmon, common carp, European seabass, gilthead seabream, rainbow trout and turbot.

The Nofima-led project that includes scientists from 14 research institutions, 11 companies and an NGO have studied a wide range of traits and developed tools and technologies to contribute to more balanced, sustainable and long-term profitable breeding programs.
