Akvaplan-niva’s marine research station, FISK, is located on Kvaløya, outside the city of Tromsø. The station is a flow-through facility designed for flexibility, offering R&D services and solutions tailored to client needs (tank size, temperature, water flow, light regime, etc.). We facilitate and conduct R&D projects ranging from small-scale laboratory trials to upscaled pre-commercial production:

• Approved experimental animal facility

• Global G.A.P. certification for cod juvenile production

• Dedicated R&D areas designed for exposure trials
