Remote Sensing of Sea Surface Temperatures for Aquaculture Planning in Northern Norway

ABSTRACT. A major limitation for salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming in arctic environments is the low winter temperatures influencing the salmon’s growth rates, mortality and quality. A detailed knowledge of the sea temperature variations in a region can help to avoid the establishment of fish farms in...

The relationship between sea surface temperatures and other factors in the physical environment was visualized in a very comprehensive way. Temperature zones were found to be consistent with information in literature and of relevance to the fish farming industry.
