Phenotypic variability in life-history traits: is intra population variability important for zooplankton dynamics

State-of-the-art studies in theoretical disciplines predict that populations will evolve as environments change. There is hardly any empirical information that can shed light on the importance of this process for natural marine zooplankton. This is most u nfortunate, as many of the changes predic...

Proliferative gill inflammation in Atlantic salmon – identification of aetiology

Proliferative gill inflammation (PGI) is an important cause of losses related to mortality and reduced growth rate in seawater farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Although reported since the 1980s, the disease appears to be increasing both in frequency and degree in later years. It is estimated...

FEEDTAG - A telemetry system for quantification of individual feeding behaviour for improved feed utilization in intensive fish cultures

A low feed conversion ratio (FCR) is a very important criteria in salmon farming management, both economically and environmentally. Key information needed to achieve low FCR is the feeding rate of the fish. Too much feed (feed/min and feed/day) increases feed loss. Reduced feeding may decrease ...
