Activities and Services
Testing fishing gear Trawl manufacturers and research institutions from all over the world have tested more than 400 different designs of fishing gear; mainly trawls, but also Danish seines, Scottish seines and gill nets.
Training and courses The flume tank is ideal for demonstrating the performance of fishing gear for an audience. SINTEF run workshops for fishermen, researchers, administrators and others interested to know about fisheries technology, fishing gear performance, selectivity of cod-end and trawls.
Research projects The flume tank is a vital instrument in a vast number of research projects.
Testing other equipment The constant and even flow makes it possible to test other equipment than fishing gear, i.e. specific components of fishing gear, underwater vehicles, propellers etc.
