Assessment of possible adverse consequences for biodiversity when planting vascular plants outside their natural range in Norway -(VKM)
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-06-25)We sow or plant vascular plant species on a large scale in revegetation and restoration projects in Norway today. Some of the species used are already found in Norway, but many of the species, subspecies or populations used though native are not local, that is, they are <i>regionally alien</i>. A regionally alien species is a species that is native to Norway (has been in Norway since 1800) somewhere ... -
Assessment of risk and risk-reducing measures related to the introduction and dispersal of the invasive alien carpet tunicate Didemnum vexillum in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-17)Didemnum vexillum is colonial sea squirt, a marine species which originates from the northwest Pacific; it was first recorded in Norway in November 2020. Didemnum vexillum is an alien species, meaning that it is a species that has been transferred from its original region to other regions of the world through human activity, and it had not previously been recorded in Norwegian waters. The species ... -
Assessment of the risk to Norwegian biodiversity from import and keeping of crustaceans in freshwater aquaria. Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Alien Organisms and Trade in Endangered Species of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021)The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) was requested by the Norwegian Environment Agency to assess the risk of negative impacts to biodiversity in Norway resulting from import of crustacean decapods for keeping in freshwater aquariums.<p> <p>VKM was asked to 1) list species of crayfish, crabs and shrimps that are currently kept in freshwater aquaria in Norway, and ... -
Assessment of the risks to honey bees and biodiversity in Norway posed by the predatory wasp species Vespa velutina and V. mandarinia - Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Alien Organisms and Trade in Endangered species of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Enviroment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-02-21)Med varmere klima er det mulig at asiatisk geithams (Vespa velutina) kan spre seg til Norge. Det er usannsynlig at japansk geithams (Vespa mandarina) vil spre seg til Norge. -
Genetic stock identification reveals greater use of an oceanic feeding ground around the Faroe Islands by multi-sea winter Atlantic salmon, with variation in use across reporting groups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-18)While it is known that the oceans around the Faroe Islands support an Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feeding ground, the relative use of this resource by different age classes and populations remains largely unexplored. Using genetic stock identification and run–reconstruction modelling, we observed a consistent pattern whereby the proportion of multi-sea winter salmon (MSW—fish that have spent ... -
Genome editing in food and feed production – implications for risk assessment
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021-10-29)The Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) initiated this work to examine the extent to which organisms developed by genome-editing technologies pose new challenges in terms of risk assessment. This report considers whether the risk assessment guidance on genetically modified organisms, developed by the European Food Safety Authority ... -
Genome editing in food and feed production – implications for risk assessment. Opinion of the Steering Committee of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment
(Forskningsrapport; Research report, 2021-10-29)I denne rapporten vurderer Vitenskapskomiteen for mat og miljø (VKM) utfordringer knyttet til helse- og miljørisikovurdering av genomredigerte organismer til mat- og fôrproduksjon. VKM har gått gjennom veiledningen for risikovurdering av genmodifiserte organismer (GMO) som Den europeiske myndighet for næringsmiddeltrygghet (EFSA) har utviklet, og vurdert om veiledningen også kan brukes til å ... -

Life history genomic regions explain differences in Atlantic salmon marine diet specialization
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-16)1. Animals employ various foraging strategies along their ontogeny to acquire energy, and with varying degree of efficiencies, to support growth, maturation and subsequent reproduction events. Individuals that can efficiently acquire energy early are more likely to mature at an earlier age, as a result of faster energy gain which can fuel maturation and reproduction.<p><p> 2. We aimed to test the ... -
Risk assessment on import of Australian redclaw crayfish to Norway. Opinion of the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016-11-30)<i>Main message</i>: It seems unlikely that the Australian red claw clayfish will establish reproductive populations under Norwegian climate conditions, but hitchhiker organisms and infectious agents could potentially follow the import, and unless managed, may pose risks to biodiversity and aquatic animal health. This is the conclusion in a risk assessment from the Norwegian Scientific Committee for ... -
Status and trade assessment of parrots listed in CITES Appendix I. Scientific Opinion of the Panel on Alien Organisms and trade in endangered species (CITES)
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020-12-18)Parrots are one of the most species-rich groups of birds of which the majority inhabits tropical and subtropical forests. Nearly one-third of parrots are threatened with extinction (IUCN categories CR, EN or VU) and more than half of the world’s parrot species are assumed to be decreasing in numbers. Parrots are popular pets on all continents, mainly due to their colourful feathers, their capacity ... -
Status for småblankbestanden i Namsen
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2009-01)Småblanken, som finnes kun i Namsenvassdraget, er den eneste bestanden av ferskvannsstasjonær laks i Europa som lever hele livet i elva og ikke har vandringer til innsjøer. Her utredes status for bestanden basert på 1) oppsummering kjent kunnskap, 2) materiale samlet inn ved overvåking i 2007-2008 (el-fiske på 17 stasjoner og garnfiske på 13 stasjoner), 3) noe tilleggs-materiale samlet inn i ...
