MATJORD-Program for forskning innenfor jordbruksog matproduksjon

Trygg mat frå småskala landbruksproduksjon

I ei tid med stadig større press på den tradisjonelle landbruksproduksjonen har mange sett etter alternative produksjonar som kan auka verdiskapinga på bygdene. Alt nå finst det døme på vellukka småskalaproduksjonar som skaper inntekt og arbeidsplassar ut i frå små ressursar. Mange ser på slike ...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Alphavirus (Togaviridae) fra laksefisk i norsk oppdrett. Karakterisering, vertikal overføring og studie av vevs/celle-tropisme.

Salmon pancreas disease (SPD) ble først beskrevet fra Skottland i 1984, men var sannsynligvis tilstede i oppdrett av laks i Skottland så tidlig som i 1976. I 1990 ble det vist at sykdommen hadde en infeksiøs årsak. Senere, i 1995, ble det klart at sykdomm en skyldes et togaviruslignende agens som...
