Motivational states and coping ability as operational welfare indicators in farmed fish

To improve welfare of farmed fish there is a need to develop objective indicators that can be used to assess, manage and document welfare. The high number of individuals in aquaculture production units puts constraints on which indicators that are likely to be operational in the industry. Behavio...

Production of all-female cod as a means to circumvent problems with early puberty in males: Studies on sex determination and differentiation

Early puberty is a major problem in cod farming both due to negative impact on production performance in on-growth farms, and due to risk of negative genetic impact on wild stocks following spawning in sea cages or after escape. Use of all-female stocks c an mitigate some of these problems. Howev...

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...

Marker-Assisted Selection for IPN resistance in Atlantic salmon

IPN is a major problem in salmon farming. DNA markers linked to resistance genes could be used to improve selection for resistance, through MAS. Here, we propose to combine experimental and theoretical approaches to lay the foundations for MAS on IPN in A tlantic salmon. Genetic material for the...
