HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

The sensory biology of host detection in the parasitic salmon louse: electrophysiological and behavioura linvestigations

We propose to extend our previous work on the chemical and visual cues underlying host location by the salmon louse by 1. determining the threshold responses required for chemical signals to induce oriented movement towards a point (e.g. a fish) 2.determine the threshold levels necessary to elici...

MARKSAM-Marked og samfunn

Application of multi criteria analysis in coastal zones in Norway: A tool for development of compromise solutions for different uses.

In Norway, with about 80% of the people living within 10 km from the shore, there is a strong concentration of economic activities in the coastal zone. The aquaculture sector alone is currently expanding with some 10 to 15% per year. As the coastal zone i s also an important area for cultural and...

HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Genetiske forskjeller på kyst- og fjordbestander av torsk i relasjon til oppdrett

I Stortinget ble det høsten 2001 vedtatt å øke innsatsen på torsk som oppdrettsorganisme i Norge. Ett av områdene som må klarlegges i tidlig fase er den genetiske variasjonen mellom ulike naturlige bestander av torsk. Dette er viktig av flere grunner: 1. Fisken bør være best mulig genetisk t...

The effect of sheep grazing on alpine plant communities, species and populations: what is the importance of plant life histories?

Grazing is an important factor for plant dynamics, but it has proved difficult to generalise about grazing impact, partly because of a lack of a good mechanistic framework linking the grazing impacts on certain life stages to the dynamics of the populatio ns. A functional classification of specie...
