The fact that researchers are not only to be found in the proverbial ivory tower has been demonstrated by Møreforskning for 30 years with its various studies and projects. The group currently includes more than 50 scientists who carry out research and development projects in all areas of the value chain, i.e. from catch to plate, as required and commissioned by industry.

Gospodarstwo Rybackie Goslawice in Konin was established fifty years ago to exploit the availability of warm water from a nearby thermal power plant to raise grass carp, bighead carp, and common carp. In the years that followed the production of other species was introduced including whitefish, pike-perch, tilapia, paddlefish, ornamental fish, European catfish, and sturgeons.

At Hodowla Ryb K-2, trout are farmed intensively using a sophisticated recirculation system. Currently 400 tonnes of trout a year are produced on the farm, a figure that is soon due to rise to 600 tonnes.

The Polish production of eyed eggs for rainbow trout is set to increase as concerns about biosecurity persuade farmers to establish their own hatcheries.
