The pot is environmentally friendly and easy-to-use, and is well suited to the highly productive temperate waters around the island nation, as well as to tropical seas in general.]]> Fri, 08 Apr 2011 10:04:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/april/laga_mauritius-teine/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/februar/kampen_om_sannheten/en There are two conflicting agendas on ocean governance and sustainability, argued managing director Tore Nepstad when giving a speech at the opening of this year’s North Atlantic Seafood Conference in Oslo.]]> Thu, 03 Mar 2011 12:01:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/februar/kampen_om_sannheten/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/februar/merdmiljoet_avgjorende_for_lakseproduksjon/en Researchers are proposing four possible measures to improve the lives of farmed salmon and simultaneously increase production. By releasing feed below the surface and using underwater lights, you can lure the fish away from the sea lice larvae on the surface, and greater monitoring will make it possible to optimise the environment. If simple procedures are also developed to spot abnormal behaviour, fish farmers will be able to discover signs of disease at an earlier stage.]]> Mon, 21 Feb 2011 14:08:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/februar/merdmiljoet_avgjorende_for_lakseproduksjon/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/lakselusens_genom_blir_tilgjengelig/en The generated results from the sequencing of the salmon louse genome will be made publicly available. These data will play a major role in the development of salmon louse vaccine and chemical delousing treatment.]]> Fri, 28 Jan 2011 12:29:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/lakselusens_genom_blir_tilgjengelig/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/lus_og_romming_odelegger/en The sustainability of the Norwegian aquaculture industry between Rogaland and Troms is being challenged by infection pressure of sea lice on wild salmonids and the possible genetic impact of escaped salmon. However, it is low likelihood  of eutrofication and organic overload on a regional scale.]]> Wed, 12 Jan 2011 08:12:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/lus_og_romming_odelegger/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/norsk-kinesisk_krillsamarbeid_i_sorishavet/en Norwegian and Chinese marine scientists will cooperate in studies of krill in the Southern Ocean for the next five years.  Aker BioMarine has given the researchers access to its modern krill trawler “Saga Sea” five days each year, free of charge. Two scientists are already on their way south to prepare vessel and equipment for the first survey in February.]]> Mon, 10 Jan 2011 13:47:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/januar/norsk-kinesisk_krillsamarbeid_i_sorishavet/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/desember/styrer_fjorden_med_ferskvatn/en  In Lysefjorden a collection of freshwater (from the outlet of a hydropower plant) is used to force controlled upwelling of nutrient rich deep water. The water is lead through a pipe (34 metres). This simple construction allows the scientists to live studies of the ecosystem in a grand scale fjord laboratory.    ]]> Mon, 20 Dec 2010 14:45:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/desember/styrer_fjorden_med_ferskvatn/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/desember/ny_database_gjor_forskningsdata_mer_tilgjengelig/en The Institute of Marine Research is constantly monitoring, and collecting large amounts of data from, all of the Norwegian territorial waters. We have created a new database – SJØMIL – to make it easier to access some of the data. There you can find time series for temperature, salinity and fishery resources, as well as time series for the status of fisheries from the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES).]]> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 08:11:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/desember/ny_database_gjor_forskningsdata_mer_tilgjengelig/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/november/lakselusens_arvestoff_er_sekvensert/en Work on sequencing the sea louse genome has reached astage where it will be possible to use the results in the beginning of 2011. By then the genome is fully sequenced and partially analyzed, making it possible to utilise it in the work towards developing vaccines and new medications against salmon lice. As the salmon louse has developed resistance against most chemicals used for delousing at fish farms, this is an important step towards developing alternative approaches.]]> Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:04:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/november/lakselusens_arvestoff_er_sekvensert/en http://www.imr.no/radgivning/kvoterad/kvoterad_for_2011/ices-rad_nordsjobestander/oyepal/en This is an updated advice for current year.
