ERA-NET: BlueBio Value creation and ecosystem services of European seaweed industry by reducing and handling potentially toxic elements

The Norwegian contribution to the BlueBio consortium included the three research partners, Nofima, NMBU and NORSØK as well as the seaweed farmer Ocean Forest. The commercial producers, Algea, Nutrimar contributed with seaweed material to the experiments. The overall aim was to promote value creat...

NORGLOBAL-Norge - Global partner

Aquaculture of genetically improved fish

Substantial long term selection responses of 10-20% higher growth rate per generation have been documented for several species of farmed fish. In spite of the tremendous benefit/cost ratios and value creation for the society in terms of more efficient fis h production and lower fish prices, only ...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Improved metodology for analyzing survival data in fish breeding programs

Selection for increased disease resistance based on survival data obtained in commercial farm environments in inefficient due to low genetic variation for such survival traits. Higher genetic variation has been observed for specific disease resistance obs erved as survival in controlled challenge...
