Reseachers at Norway's University of Bergen are working on a NOK 6 million (€564,929/$680,617) project aimed at allowing salmon producers to gauge when fish need feeding and when their stomachs are full to cut down on waste.

To date, the industry has relied on biomass figures to calculate how much fish should be fed, then spread that feed evenly over the cage throughout the day, University of Bergen researcher Sigurd Handeland told IntraFish publication Tekfisk.
