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