Abstract
During the past 20 years, Norwegian salmon fanning has grown to achieve export sales of 7 billion Norwegian kroner (NOK). In the same period, Arctic char has been promoted as a lucrative farmed species. Paradoxically, despite the well‐documented advantages of Arctic char farming, this commercial activity has not prospered. Here I study the interaction between research and development and fish farming, and how this interaction affects industrial development within salmon farming and Arctic char farming, respectively. Effective communication between these systems presumes organization by some superior structure that controls the flow of industrial information to the research system, and prepares research results for industrial utility. The focus here is on: the perceptions of industrial actors of tasks for the research community; how researchers interpret and respond to these tasks; how the results are imparted to the fish‐farmers; and how the research results function in practice. I contend that adequate conditions for interaction between research and industrial activity exists for salmon farming, but not for Arctic char farming.
