Kana Banno
About
I do research within salmon aquaculture, with a focus on salmon behaviour in commercial cages, as response to various environmental factors.
My research interest covers wide range of topics, but I am especially interested in fish behaviour, fish welfare, and use of technologies (e.g. underwater cameras, ROVs, echosounders, sonars) for aquaculture monitoring.
I have worked at a Japanese land-based RAS company that produces rainbow trout, where I acquired thorough knowledge on everyday operation at RAS facilities, as well as strong observational skills necessary for healthy growth of salmonids. I earned my PhD degree in Biology from NTNU in 2025, with a focus on the monitoring of fish welfare and aquaculture -environment interactions. I was awarded a MSc in Biology with a focus on aquaculture and genetics, from UiT The Arctic University of Norway in 2019.
