Rainbow Trout Sexual Maturation Research Call

Funds aquaculture research teams studying and reducing sexual maturation in sea-farmed rainbow trout through FHF project grants.

FHF administers this one-off research call through its aquaculture research program. It funds new knowledge about the factors that trigger and control sexual maturation in rainbow trout during the sea phase. FHF provides a total of up to NOK 10 million and expects to fund as many as two projects; it does not publish a per-project award limit. Each proposal must address all three goals: identify bi

Biological and production factors that trigger sexual maturation in rainbow trout at sea, methods using light or diet to reduce it, and external markers that identify maturation in female fish.
