Fillet quality of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) is affected by a broad range of pre- and post-mortem factors. The “green A licenses” in North-Norway has led increased focus on triploidisation of Atlantic salmon (again) in the Norwegian aquaculture. Based on that, this thesis focused mainly...
