      Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund; Dalmo, Roy Ambli; Wargelius, Anna; Myhr, Anne Ingeborg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-26)
      Novel genome editing techniques allow for efficient and targeted improvement of aquaculture stock and might be a solution to solve challenges related to disease and environmental impacts. This review has retrieved the latest research on genome editing on aquacultured finfish species, exploring the technological progress and the scope. Genome editing has most often been used on Nile tilapia (<i>Oreochromis ...
    • Genome-edited salmon: a sustainable and socially acceptable solution to aquaculture? 

      Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-03-24)
      The Norwegian Atlantic salmon farming industry is halted by challenges related to environmental impact and fish welfare. Some of the issues have been suggested solved by the use of novel genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR, which allows for targeted mutations and speeding up fish breeding. For successful introduction, applications of the technology need to be socially acceptable and contribute ...
    • A sustainability assessment framework for genome-edited salmon 

      Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund; Myhr, Anne Ingeborg (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      In this paper we present a suggestion for a sustainability assessment framework using genome editing of salmon as a case study. The salmon farming industry is facing several challenges hindering sustainable production. Genome editing has entered as a tool that can improve selective breeding and feed ingredients in aquaculture, hence providing solutions such as resistance to salmon lice and other ...
    • Sustainable use of CRISPR/Cas in fish aquaculture: the biosafety perspective 

      Okoli, Arinze Stanley; Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund; Myhr, Anne I; Xu, Wenteng; Xu, Xiadong (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-25)
      Aquaculture is becoming the primary source of seafood for human diets, and farmed fish aquaculture is one of its fastest growing sectors. The industry currently faces several challenges including infectious and parasitic diseases, reduced viability, fertility reduction, slow growth, escapee fish and environmental pollution. The commercialization of the growth-enhanced AquAdvantage salmon and the ...
    • Utredning av sirkulær økonomi i sjømatnæringen, faglig rapport nr. 7-2023, fra NORCE Klima og Miljø 

      Myhr, Anne Ingeborg; Herheim, Christian; Opsahl, Eivind; Helland, Eivind; Dahle, Elise Sæle; Provan, Fiona; Ahi, Julide Ceren; Kjelstrup, Line; Tveterås, Ragnar; Bechmann, Renée Katrin; Blix, Torill Pauline Bakkelund; Landazuri-Tveteraas, Ursula Alejandra (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023-11)
      Utredningen har fremskaffet et bredt kunnskapsgrunnlag for videre arbeid innen sirkulær økonomi i sjømatnæringen. Arbeidet har identifisert status, kunnskapsbehov, muligheter og utfordringer for at næringen skal nå forventningene om sirkulærøkonomi. Det er store muligheter for økt sirkularitet i norsk sjømatproduksjon, men det er også barrierer/hindringer i sjømatnæringen. En bedre utnyttelse av ...
