  <title><![CDATA[Successful MAREANO summer cruise comes to an end]]></title>
  <link>http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/august/vellykket_mareano-tokt_avsluttes/en</link>
  <description><![CDATA[This summer’s MAREANO cruise with research vessel “G.O. Sars” ends today in Tromsø, with no time lost due to bad weather or equipment problems we have been very lucky, and have completed all the planned work, and a few extras.  The Troms III area offshore north Troms (north Norway) has been the focus of the second leg of the cruise, continuing the good work begun in the first leg.  Following video surveys over several previously undocumented coral reefs during the first leg, right at the end of the second leg we were lucky enough to encounter yet another reef, around 20 km north of Vannøya (see map below).]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A quick note from all on board the Norwegian research vessel &quot;G.O. Sars&quot;. We are making good progress with the first of two MAREANO cruises to be undertaken this year, and are now mid-way through the second and final leg of this research cruise.]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[The impact of trawling]]></title>
  <link>http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2010/august/effekter_av_traling/en</link>
  <description><![CDATA[Videos taken by the MAREANO project immediately after bottom trawling in the Troms III area show bottom sediments that are stirred up and sponges covered in &ldquo;dust&rdquo;. It appears that the trawling destroys the squat lobster&rsquo;s burrows, and there is also very little fauna visible in the direct trawl path.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A coral parasite, previously only observed off the east coast of Canada, has been found on cold-water corals in Norway. The parasite is probably not a great threat to the coral, but it leads to clear deformities in the coral.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Once again in 2010, the MAREANO project will carry out two three-week scientific missions with the research vessel &ldquo;G. O. Sars&rdquo;. The first one starts on 24 July, and the second one starts on17 September. This year&rsquo;s activities start off North Cape and finish in Nordland VI, south-west of the Lofoten Islands. The aim is to map biodiversity, geology and biotopes in an 18,500 square kilometre area. Once completed, the MAREANO programme will have mapped a continuous area of sea including Troms I, Troms III, Troms II, Nordland VII and parts of Nordland VI.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[- The four pillars of sustainable fisheries management are: science, fisheries legislation, control of fishing activities, and violation sanctions, said &Aring;smund Bjordal, panelist at the&nbsp;&ldquo;United Nations Open-ended Informal Consultative Process on Oceans and the Law of the Sea&rdquo; this week.&nbsp;]]></description>

  <title><![CDATA[Tough times for wild salmon]]></title>
  <link>http://www.imr.no/temasider/fisk/laks/atlantisk_laks/toffe_tider_for_villaksen/en</link>
  <description><![CDATA[In recent years, there has been a sharp fall in the number, as well as the size, of salmon returning to western Norway from the Norwegian Sea. Possible causes include a lack of food, high levels of sea lice and smolt predation in the fjords. Since 2001 The Institute of Marine Research has been releasing tagged smolt into the River Daleelv in Hordaland, and the results of that work may now help to explain what is happening.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[When fish farms are placed in optimal locations, there is little evidence that they result in&nbsp; excessive fertilization of large areas. Over the past fifteen years, Norwegian salmon and trout production has almost quadrupled, from 220,000 tonnes in 1994 to 820,000 tonnes in 2008. Meanwhile, the quantity of dissolved chemical nutrients released into the water has increased by 20%.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[In Hardangerfjorden, sea lice infection rates increased in June in relation to May, particularly on sea trout in the outer part of the fjord. An increase in sea lice levels was also observed in Herdlefjorden (Hordaland) and off Namsenfjorden (Tr&oslash;ndelag). In the other fjord systems studied, results show that sea lice levels on wild salmonids remain low.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The quota advice for Northeast arctic haddock&nbsp;is the largest since&nbsp;the quota advices&nbsp;first were given,&nbsp;and 25&nbsp;percent more&nbsp;than the 2010 advice. The quota advice for Northeast arctic cod is 703&nbsp;000 tonnes, an increase of 96&nbsp;000 tonnes (16&nbsp;percent)&nbsp;from 2010. If the quota&nbsp;advice is followed,&nbsp;the norwegian quota&nbsp;vil increase with&nbsp;40&nbsp;000 tons from 2010.&nbsp;
