Antimicrobial resistance in wildlife – potential for dissemination: Opinion of the Panel on Microbial Ecology of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-03-16)
<p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised as one of the greatest public health concerns of our time. The development of AMR occurs in nature as a defence by microbes against naturally occurring antimicrobials. However, the selective pressure, generated by the use of antimicrobial agents in human and veterinary medicine, livestock and plant production as well as aquaculture practices, is the ...

Detecting changes in the Arctic Ecosystem – Long-Term Benthos Monitoring network for detecting changes in the Arctic benthic ecosystem (LTM-Benthos) 2017-2020
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
<i>Introduction</i>: Main purpose of this group is data exploration. For example, megafaunal community characterization, modeling of variables that influence these communities (environment, stressors, etc.). Scaling of data matters: Depending on the objectives, required resolution of the data and analyses will vary, e.g. for managing trawl closures, fine-scale analyses are required; for understanding ...
Estimation of acoustic indices with CVs for Northeast Arctic saithe in the Norwegian coastal survey 2003-2017 applying the Sea2Data StoX software
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
The Sea2Data software StoX was applied to estimate acoustic indices with CVs and length and weight at age for Northeast Arctic saithe from the Norwegian coastal survey Varanger - Stad in 2013 to 2017. The indices are compared to indices previously estimated by the BEAM software, and differences are mainly explained by different strata areas.
Research needs of importance for food safety and environmental protection as based on data gaps identified by VKM
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-05-23)
The goal of this report is to highlight research needs and data gaps that are of future importance for food safety and protection of the environment and thereby improve the national knowledge-base. This report is the latest in a series of reports on research needs and data gaps published periodically by the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM), former Norwegian Scientific ...

Estimation of acoustic indices with CVs for cod and haddock in the Barents Sea winter survey 1994 – 2017 applying the Sea2Data StoX software
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
<i>English</i>: The Sea2Data software StoX was applied to estimate acoustic indices with CVs for Northeast Arctic cod and haddock from the Barents
Sea winter survey in 1994 to 2017. The indices are compared to indices previously estimated by the BEAM software. In most years the
StoX indices for cod are quite similar to those obtained by BEAM, while they are somewhat higher for haddock. The largest ...
Assessment of long-term implementation of sea lice prevention technologies: efficiency in reducing infestations and impact on fish welfare
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-12-21)
Salmon lice prevention strategies are steering towards passive implementation, and this study aimed to monitor these strategies in commercial cages over time, to determine the efficiency of these approaches and their effect on welfare. Four strategies were tested at a commercial scale at the Centre for Aquaculture Competence (CAC; funded by CAC and FHF), over a 13-month period. The ...
Skiftende vindretning – særlige hensyn for tildeling av tillatelser til lakseoppdrett
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)
Rapporten har tatt for seg hvilke hensyn som var særlig vektlagt i utlysningene av matfisk-tillatelser til laks og ørret i tildelingsrundene fra 2002 til 2013. I studien ble forskriftene til tildelingsrundene studert. Dette er hensyn som var nevnt spesielt i forskriftene som ble laget til hver runde, enten som kriterier for hvem som kan søke om nye tillatelser, eller hva som skulle vektlegges ved ...
