Fish farming in Øygarden
Sea and ocean-related industries are a natural part of the economy in Øygarden, and they play a great part in the forming of the municipalitys identity, history and traditions. Fish farming is an important part of this, and you can come with us to the fish farm situated on the fjord just outside the museum. Start the visit at the museum, where you can learn how the idea of farming salmon and trout started around 1850, and how it developed into the industry fish farming is today. Complete the visit with seeing the facilites first hand.
