peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1vessel, container Explanation: Agree with previous contibutor, but just to specify a container holding water and fish on land, as opposed to anchored nets (not, nøter). "Hele utsettet" comes from the verb "å sette ut", ie put yngel or smolt out into larger nets or containers, and in this context would therefore refer to the entire batch of fish. Et opphav, a smaller batch, not too sure, but perhaps from one spawning female, a bit context-dependent. |

vat Explanation: Although this is a field I know very little about, my intuitive guess was "vat", so I did a few searches on "vats" + "aquaculture" or "fish farming" (searches with "vat" in the singular bring up too many hits concerning VAT (mva), so recommend using the plural form). These provided a lot of hits where this term was used, or where "vats or tanks" was referred to. This might be worth following up. |
