What is an Exhibition Center?
An aquaculture exhibition center is designed to provide you with knowledge about aquaculture as the world's most sustainable large-scale food production. At our exhibition center, located in Gurisentret on Smøla, you can experience and learn about local history, salmon biology, environment and sustainability, feed, and technology.
A Unique Experience!
A visit to our exhibition center is not complete without a trip out to the fish farm. A short boat ride will take you to the aquaculture facility, where you can see how we care for the salmon. You won't just have a visit, but an experience – one that you can only get in Norway.
Our guided tours are informative and will give you a good understanding of our industry and its significance to the local community. Our goal is to contribute to better understanding and increased interest in an exciting industry that is constantly evolving. Join a RIB tour to our exhibition facilities and enjoy activities such as cooking demonstrations focusing on salmon as a raw ingredient.
