SIPHINIFES-SIP ved HI

Challenges towards sustainable aquafeeds-plant nutrients and contaminants interactions- Use of biological models and indicators-

Fiskemel og fiskeolje har tradisjonelt vært brukt som hovedingredienser i fôr til oppdrettslaks. I dag brukes mindre av disse ingrediensene fordi en økning av produksjonsvolumet krever bruk av utradisjonelle fôringredienser. I dag spiser oppdrettslaksen derfor fôr med mindre marine råvarer og mer...

Villaksutvalget 10 år etter. Hvor står vi, og hvor går veiden videre?

Villaksens tilbakegang fortsatte også i 2009. Kun få lysglimt finnes, jevnt over er tilbakegangen dramatisk. 10 år etter at Villaksutvalget (NoU 1999:9) la fram forslag til strategier og tiltak for å bedre laksens situasjon forverres den fortsatt. Hva er årsakene til den dystre utviklingen? Ga V...
