After a 3 days´ trip across the Barents Sea, our fishes arrived Tromsø and were transported to the biological station of the University of Tromsø in Kårvika. The facilities are quite amazing with all kinds of water qualities and temperatures available and a great team of experienced people taking good care of the fishes!
Ibon (University of the Basque Country) came for a short visit under the autumn colours and could enjoy the sight of the big red King crabs and Arctic chars reared next to our polar cod. We are now doing our best to maintain the stock but things are not so straight forward working with wild fishes!
