Modelling disease dispersal in marine fish aquaculture in Norwegian coastal areas: Contributions to a new concept of area management?

As a measure to avoid the spreading of fish and shellfish diseases, a defined distance is required between all aquaculture facilities. From 2006, this requirement was also implemented for intermediate live storing of fish. The established distance regulat ions represent a clear limitation to the ...
