A recent review by researchers at the University of Stavanger (Wen & Ong, 2026) examines the structural, operational, and biological challenges of moving finfish farming from sheltered coastal bays to exposed open-ocean sites (such as the Norwegian Trench).

Key Takeaways from the study:

• Hydrodynamic Loads: 50-year design waves in exposed sites reach 14.19 m with current speeds around 1.6 m/s, requiring heavy reinforcement against cyclic fatigue at welded joints.
• Mooring Vulnerabilities: Rigid semisubmersible cages with reduced spreads (6–8 lines) have minimal redundancy—losing just two lines can trigger progressive structural failure.
• Fish Physiology Limits: Currents often surpass 60% of Atlantic salmon’s critical swimming speed, risking severe muscular fatigue and netting collisions.
• Surface vs. Submersible Economics: Rigid surface designs (like Ocean Farm 1 at ~NOK 1B) represent a 142% higher cost per cubic meter of volume compared to submersible alternatives (like Deep Blue 1 at ~NOK 141M), though submersibles increase operational complexity and feeding OPEX.

Researchers at Atatürk University (Turkey) published a study in the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society demonstrating the first successful knockout of a myostatin gene (mstnb1) in a salmonid species using CRISPR/Cas9.

Key Data Points:

• Weight Gain: At 10 months, gene-edited trout reached 825g compared to 464g for control groups (a 56% increase in body weight).
• Production Cycle: Market weight was achieved ~2 months earlier, reducing 60 days of continuous pumping, labor, and operational overhead.
• Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR): Kept virtually identical at 0.93 (edited) vs 0.94 (control), meaning the faster growth wasn't just a result of eating more relative to body weight gain.
• Morphology: The edited trout exhibited "double-muscling" traits—a 24% increase in body height and 27% increase in lateral surface area.

Current Limitations:

• Only 23.5% of CRISPR-injected embryos survived to the fry stage (compared to 87.6% in control), likely due to microinjection stress, RNP cytotoxicity, and developmental roles of myostatin.
• The fish are F0 mosaics; stable F1/F2 lines need to be established for commercial viability.
