Tracing escaped farmed salmon by means of naturally occurring DNA markers, fatty acid profiles, trace elements and stable isotopes

In 2003, the Ministry of Fisheries took the initiative to set up a national committee to investigate some questions regarding the tagging of farmed fish.

Interactions between wild and farmed Atlantic cod: non-lethal impacts of escapees on wild populations

Cod is a new target species for aquaculture in the north Atlantic. With increasing numbers of farmed cod kept in sea-pens in coastal areas it is necessary to address the potential impacts of cod aquaculture on the local environment. Of particular concern is the effect of cod that escape from net-...

Jerntoksisitet i norske settefiskanlegg - oppskalering og utprøving av vannbehandling med silikat og/eller sjøvann

Basert på VK databasen samt en rekke henvendelser fra norske settefiskanlegg til NIVA i perioden 1999 - 2003 ble det klart at toksisitet av jern var et større problem enn antatt for settefisknæringen i Norge. VK-dataene viser også tydelig at det er anlegg i Midt-Norge som har de største probleme...

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...

Why and how do cod escape? A field and experimental study of the behaviour of cod prior ro, during and after escape.

Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L) is a promising new aquaculture species. Experiences from salmon culture strongly indicate that it is difficult to develop "escape proof" sea cages. Thus, it is reasonable to assume that escape also will become a problem in fu ture cod culture. Besides representing a ...
