Cod Norway

Norway has experienced a resurgence in cod farming, and recent advancements in selective breeding, improved husbandry practices, and lessons learned from the successful salmon farming sector have paved the way for a more viable cod farming industry. There are ongoing efforts to scale up production, with some companies already operating on a limited scale and showing positive results. The Norwegian Institute of Food, Fisheries and Aquaculture Research (Nofima) has been involved in a National Cod Breeding Program, which has led to the development of faster-growing, disease-resistant cod stocks. As of 2025, there are ongoing efforts to scale up cod farming in Norway, with some companies operating on a limited scale. The industry is showing positive signs, with increased exports and improved production techniques.
