Recently, four students in research-related master's studies were added to the IFL aquaculture group in Akureyri, and they are all studying at the Faculty of Business and Science at the University of Akureyri. These are Rut Hermannsdóttir, Bjarni Jónasson and G.Stella Árnadóttir, who all graduated with a BS degree from the Faculty of Natural Resources at the University of Akureyri last spring, and Eyrún Gígja Káradóttir who graduated with a BS degree from the University of Iceland last spring.
Bjarni Jónasson and Ruth Hermannsdóttir worked on their BS projects in research projects that they continue to work on in their master's studies. Ruth participates in the project "Bioactive substances in halibut farming" and Bjarni is a participant in the project "Development of charr feed," but these projects are both funded by the AVS fund.
Stella Árnadóttir worked on his final project for a BS degree in the project "Feed for cod" which was funded by the AVS Fund and the Nordic Industrial Development Fund, but that project was recently completed and the final report will soon be published on the AVS website.
