2. Gwind is developing a gyro-stabilized floating vertical axis wind turbine for offshore
and near-shore applications. While traditional wind turbines in a simplified manner only need to
relate to gravity and aerodynamics, offshore floating systems will have to master several
additional dimensions such as dynamic loads from current and waves, seabed anchoring,
corrosive environment and providing personnel access to moving structures. Challenges we
have learnt to master after more than 30 years of offshore Oil & Gas experience.

3. GroFish TM technology is a chemical-free, all-natural organic treatment to grow seafood
healthier, larhger, and faster. GroFish TM technology not only enhances the growth but also improves the
resistance of treated animals against diseases. GroFish TM satisfies the need for an environmentally friendly
method to generate a more sustainable food source. Any creature living in water can be treated. So far, over
thirty aquatic species treated include Atlantic and Pacific salmon, rainbow trout, tilapia, carp, channel
catfish, hybrid striped bass, prawns, shrimp, abalone, mussels, clams, sea cucumbers, coral, and even
bullfrogs.

4. EWOS Innovation documented a large salmon feed trial – where the level of marine
proteins and marine oil was reduced – compared to commercial raw materials used
today in the Norwegian industry. Data was collected on the performance of fish and
also several other parameters. Marine oil and protein dependency ratios were also
calculated.

5. Vi har i samarbeid med fiskeoppdrettsnæringen lokalt (Grieg Seafood) utviklet en
forslange som vi mener løser problemet rundt statisk elektrisitet og vi har også
patentsøkt vår løsning. Prinsippet er veldig enkelt. Både praktiske forsøk og målinger
på slangen viser at den statiske elektrisitet ledes ut av slangen og jordes i sjøen.

6. Stingray sin optiske avlusing er et resultat av flere års forskning og utvikling innenfor en rekke
avanserte disipliner og fagområder. Metoden er patentert og teknologien er blant annet bygget
opp på den kunnskap og erfaring som 10-15 år med leveranser til oljebransjen har gitt oss.
Enheten, Stingray Node, er produsert i sterke materialer og med et design som tar hensyn til
både mennesker, fiskene og miljøet i havet. Den har et lavt strømforbruk og forventes å ha en
levetid på 4 år

9. Markedet for levende transport av fisk vokser samtidig med den globale
oppdrettsnæringen. Og med økt fokus på bio sikkerhet, fiskevelferd og
fiskekvalitet, er det helt klart et behov for fornyelse og modernisering av den
globale brønnbåtflåten.

10. The EU-funded project AQUA-USERS will provide the aquaculture industry with
user-relevant and timely information based on the most up-to-date satellite data and innovative
optical in-situ measurements. The key purpose is to develop an
application that brings together satellite information on water quality and
temperature with in-situ observations as well as relevant weather prediction
and met-ocean data.

11. The market for LFC’s (Live Fish Carriers) is growing along with the global fish farming industry and with
increased focus on biosecurity, fish welfare and fish quality, it is clearly a need for renewal and
modernization of the global LFC fleet.
The flexible concept will also make further operational improvements easily possible as new
technologies are developed or other tasks are required performed by the LFC, without rebuilding the
vessel.

reduce the use of toxic synthetic fungicides in agriculture significantly. Fungal
infections on crops are a huge global problem. More than 10% of all crops are lost
due to fungal infections. The company is currently testing the product in field trials
with promising results.

the N-Atlantic that differentiates in terms of sustainable production and superior consumer
benefits. In order to identify consumer perception of N-Atlantic whitefish product, fish
consumers and other stakeholders in the value chain have been approached through direct
interviews, focus group sessions and large qualitative survey.

16. Automation to Improve Yield and Product Quality Whitefish processing is about to take a giant leap
forward, with the launch of Marel’s FleXicut, a trimming robot for high precision bone detection and removal.
The bones in whitefish are notoriously difficult to locate and remove, and the process traditionally requires a lot
of skilled labor. Compared with manual deboning of whitefish, the FleXicut is much more efficient in terms of
labor, quality, and yield.

18. Preline Fishfarming System AS has tested in three Versions a submerged raceway, with high flow. These tests
have shown promising results. Based on this the Preline Extended Smolt Farm has been designed and
patented. Smolt is farmed up to 1000 grams, after which the fish is transferred to ordinary net pens. The
Technology has multiple advantages: The raceway solution gives an environment with a consistently high
water flow, emulating a river. The water speed and exercise for the fish can be varied and controlled.
This will ensure a more healthy fish with a high quality for further farming.
