Luke and VTT have developed technology solutions to remove off-flavors and water mold in aquaculture
Off-flavors in fish and water mold cause significant economic losses to fish farming globally. The Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have developed capture solutions based on chemically treated fiber materials to address these challenges in fish farming.Unpleasant off-flavors can accumulate in fish and reduce the market value and consumer interest in fish products.
