However, this method has been tested in the past, where one of the problems was infrequent salmon leaping. Now we have discovered that if salmon are prevented from reaching the surface for 1-2 days, they leap much more frequently immediately afterwards.]]> Fri, 25 Nov 2011 09:00:00 +0100 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/november/kan_laks_hoppe_av_seg_lus/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/oktober/hald_fram_med_referanseflaten/en Following an evaluation of the fleet by a committee of stakeholders and international scientists the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) has been advised to maintain its Reference Fleet. The committee also suggested a range of measures to strengthen and promote this project, which is based on the mutual trust between fishers and scientists.]]> Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:33:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/oktober/hald_fram_med_referanseflaten/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/august/report_on_risk_assessment/en The Institute of Marine Research has conducted an initial risk assessment  of the environmental effects of Norwegian Aquaculture for the Ministry of  Fisheries and Coastal Affairs. The assessment builds on goals specified in  the Ministry’s “Strategy for an Environmentally Sustainable Norwegian  Aquaculture Industry” from 2009.]]> Fri, 12 Aug 2011 14:09:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/august/report_on_risk_assessment/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/juni/ny_havedderkopp_i_norsk_farvann/en The sea spider Cilunculus battenae was recently recorded in the Norwegian Economic Zone (NEZ) for the first time, when bottom samples from the MAREANO cruises from 2007-2009 were analysed. So far 21 different species have been found in the samples. Two species have previously been observed in the NEZ a few times.]]> Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:45:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/juni/ny_havedderkopp_i_norsk_farvann/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/mai/sjopattedyrrapporten_pa_engelsk/en The report Marine Mammals presents the different marine mammal species, their evolutionary history and the past and present hunt and management.]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 14:04:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/mai/sjopattedyrrapporten_pa_engelsk/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/mai/gode_resultat_med_steril_oppdrettslaks/en New results show that by adding more phosphorous to the feed of sterile farmed fish, you can prevent them from developing deformities. Farming sterile fish has the potential to solve the problem of escaped farmed fish spawning with wild fish and thus having a genetic impact on wild fish stocks. Sterile fish grow quickly, but are prone to suffer from skeletal deformities, and are less able to withstand high water temperatures, than normal salmon.]]> Fri, 06 May 2011 09:44:00 +0200 http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/mai/gode_resultat_med_steril_oppdrettslaks/en http://www.imr.no/nyhetsarkiv/2011/april/laga_mauritius-teine/en Norwegian researchers have developed a fish pot that may become of great use to fishermen in Mauritius. 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.
