Here I hope that I can help contribute, while also learning more about fish farming, says Aarskog.
– We live for and from an industry that produces food. We will do our part to make this as sustainable as possible. It is very good today, but the industry is young and there is still a lot of room for innovation. With Alf-Helge on the team, we will be even better equipped to put the truly innovative ideas into action, concludes Øren.
