During the past year three joint projects have been conducted
concerning the fate of organic waste and antibiotics from various
Norwegian fish farms. The projects are investigating the following
topics:
- decomposition rate of organic waste, flux between the sediment
and water of various inorganic compounds, and distribution of
waste through the marine food chain
- the persistance of antibiotics in sediments and its degradation
in seawater
- development of resistance in bacteria in the sediment.
The collaboration of the projects is planned to be extended next year
into a larger project as part of a national program concerning the
ecological effects of antibiotics.
