Halvor Dybdahl, Research
Studying at NHH, completed the second year of a bachelor's degree in economics and administration.
– I work with seafood alongside Christian Olsen Nordby. More specifically, land-based farming, and the various listed players. I am currently working on a presentation that goes through the listed Norwegian players.
"This summer, I want to gain a better insight into the industry, and especially how the land-based industry is developing."
– As a result of biological problems in recent years, the industry has been forced to rethink, which has resulted in the development of land-based and offshore farming. Although these technologies have not reached commercial scale, there is a good probability that the salmon industry will face a major shift in the next five years.
