Researchers dig deeper into the value of quality

Researchers dig deeper into the value of quality

Can the value of salmon be increased in ways other than producing more or cutting costs? That’s the belief of Norwegian researchers, working in close cooperation with researchers at the University of Stirling, who are currently examining how different types of quality can increase the value of salmon products.
