Population dynamics and stoichiometry of consumer-resource systems: a combined experimental and modelling approach

A recent approach in ecology, ecological stoichiometry, recognises resource quality (nutrient ratios) as a limiting factor in addition to resource quantity. In the proposed project, we will apply this approach to study classical population-ecological prob lems in a new perspective. Theoretical mo...

HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Overføring av patogene fiskevirus mellom ulike oppdrettsarter

Fysisk nærhet mellom anlegg for ulike oppdrettsarter vil medføre en risiko for spredning av patogene fiskevirus mellom artene. Noen arter kan infiseres av virus uten å utvikle sykdom, og vil da kunne fungere som biologiske vektorer og bidra til effektiv s predning av virus i miljøet. I dette pros...

PETROMAKS-Maksimal utnyttelse av petroleumsreserver

Beslutningsstøtteverktøy

Et viktig budskap i St. mld. nr.7 (2001-2002) om HMS i petroleumsvirksomheten er at hensynet til HMS i praksis betraktes i for stor grad til å være i konflikt med hensynet til verdiskaping. Denne forestillingen fører til at det fortsatt utøves større krea tivitet til å redusere investeringer i HM...
