Due to overfishing, the populations of our most popular food fish are declining both globally and nationally. At the same time, there are many species in the ocean that we traditionally do not eat, but which have great potential to meet the growing need for food. At Tjärnö Marine Laboratory in Strömstad, a concept for small-scale and sustainable cultivation of new food from the sea is being tested.
Deep Sea Reporter has visited one of the important institutions in Swedish ocean research. Researchers Kerstin Johannesson and Ann Larsson show us around and talk about the activities conducted at Tjärnö Marine Laboratory south of Strömstad
