What is the true influence of the red tide on the production, price and marketing of the Galician mussel?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-08-14)In recent years, the Galician mussel industry has encountered an environmental factor capable of influencing its sea farming; the red tide. Its environmental and economic impact on mussel aquaculture is directly related to the duration of toxic processes. Therefore, in this work will be used the number of days of closure of production areas in order to analyze what is the true influence that red ... -
When is enough, enough? Quantifying trade-offs between information quality and sampling effort for fishing gear selectivity data
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-21)There is general pressure throughout the world’s fisheries for the industry to have greater involvement not only in the development of fishing gears but also in the testing and documentation of their effect. In the European Union, the Common Fisheries Policy of 2013, together with the proposed reform of the technical measures regulation, highlights the need for greater flexibility in fisheries through ... -
Whole genome sequencing reveals development of structured salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Krøyer, 1838) populations among aquaculture net pens through production
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)Salmon louse, (Lepeophtheirus salmonis, Krøyer, 1838), is an ectoparasite that causes multiple health and economic problems in the farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.), but also threatens wild salmonid species. The industry is struggling to identify proper measures for limiting lice infections, and to identify effective delousing treatments. One of the major production and management challenges, ... -
Why and how to regulate Norwegian salmon production? – The history of Maximum Allowable Biomass (MAB)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-05)Salmon farming has been a great success story in Norway over the last 50 years, but the industry is still much disputed. Right from the start, farmers were licensed, with a limit on total production. In addition, each site was regulated according to carrying capacity. Over the years, various management measures have been used to regulate both the total production and environmental conditions, before ... -
Wicked problems: management complexities in the Atlantic bluefin tuna fisheries
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-05-15)This study examines the complexities of achieving sufficient management measures for the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna, with an attempt to specify failure and shortcomings within the management system. The key to the solution is embedded in man-made governance systems and legal frameworks. With this thesis I will try to unfold the complexities of governance systems, the legal framework of fisheries ... -
Wild and Farmed Arctic Charr as a Tourism Product in an Era of Climate Change
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-12)The topic investigated is the social-ecological system of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) fishing and aquaculture as a tourism product in an era of climate change. Arctic charr is a resilient salmonid species that was traditionally an important part of the sustenance economy in Arctic and Subarctic communities as a source of fresh food throughout the year. Arctic charr populations have declined ... -
Willingness to pay for mangrove restoration to reduce the climate change impacts on ecotourism in Rekawa coastal wetland, Sri Lanka
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-03)This study investigates tourist preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for restoration of mangroves to reduce the effects of climate change (CC) on ecotourism at Rekawa coastal wetland, Sri Lanka, using a double bounded discrete choice elicitation format in a contingent valuation method. The survey also included socio-economic, demographic, and attitudinal characteristics of respondents. The ... -
Willingness to pay for unfamiliar public goods: Preserving cold-water coral in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-17)The world's largest concentration of cold-water coral (CWC) is found off the Norwegian coast. Most CWC discoveries are recent, posing new challenges for Norwegian coastal and fishery authorities regarding the management of deep-sea resources. Scientific knowledge of CWC is limited, and many citizens have not even heard about them. This creates problems for the application of the stated preference ... -
Willingness to pay to protect cold water corals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-16)There is increasing pressure to use currently untapped resources in the deep sea, raising questions regarding ecosystem service trade‐offs in these often unknown areas. We assessed the trade‐offs between protection of cold‐water coral reefs and economic activities, such as fisheries and petroleum extraction, through a survey of a representative sample of the populations of Norway and Ireland. ... -
Women’s activities in the Ghanaian fishery; The role of social capital
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-05)Women play important roles in the Ghanaian fishery. This thesis focuses on the roles of women in the Ghanaian fisheries and their means of raising capital to finance their activities. The roles played are broadly categorized as an intermediary one linking fishermen and fish consumers. The women offer financial assistance to the fishermen in times of need and this has led to a strong relationship ... -
Økologisk torskeoppdrett : en økonomisk analyse
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2008)Denne undersøkelsen tar for seg forskjellene mellom økologisk og konvensjonell oppdrett av torsk, med fokus på produksjonskostnader. Grunnlaget for at en ønsker å undersøke dette er at produksjonskostnadene for oppdrett av torsk er mye høyere enn hva det koster å villfange torsk. Det må derfor betales høyere pris for oppdrettet torsk og analysen vil gjøres for å se på økologisk oppdrett av torsk som ... -

Økt utnyttelse av restråstoff i hvitfisknæringen. Hva skal til for at fangstleddet skal bringe alt restråstoffet på land? – En undersøkelse av flaskehalser og mulige løsninger
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Bærekraftig høsting og utnyttelse av de marine ressursene er en viktig forutsetning for sjømatnæringen og en del av FN´s bærekraftsmål. I hvitfisknæringen foreligger det et stort potensial i å øke utnyttelsen av restråstoffet, ettersom kun 50% av det restråstoffet som oppstår blir utnyttet. Den største kilden til uutnyttet restråstoff er fra den havgående flåten og de store kystfiskefartøyene, da ...
