Animals can be important in modulating ecosystem-level nutrient cycling, although their importance varies greatly among species and ecosystems. Nutrient cycling rates of individual animals represent valuable data for testing ...

The amount of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) used in the treatment of salmon lice in Norwegian salmon farming increased from 308 tons in 2009 to 43246 tons in 2015. For 2016 and 2017, however, the consumption was reduced to 26597 ...

Capitella sp. and Ophryotrocha craigsmithi received a diet of salmon feces to evaluate their potential to convert fish waste into valuable marine products, e.g. ingredients for fish feed formulation. Production rate and ...

This note presents the development of benthic integrated aquaculture, addressing a novel cultivation concept for open-water aquaculture. We introduce an approach that supports the colonization of indigenous polychaete ...

Utredningen ”Framtidsrettet matproduksjon i kyst og fjord” er en del av en kyst-akvakultur-satsing ved Havforskningsinstituttet og har som mål å svare på ”Hvordan skal vi legge til rette for økt, bærekraftig verdiskaping ...

Using low trophic marine resources such as sugar kelp (Saccharina latissimi) is of great interest to increase the circular food production in the ocean. Sugar kelp does, however, contain high levels of carbohydrates and ...

The feeding activity of bivalves is understood to change in response to a suite of environmental conditions, including food quantity and quality. It has been hypothesized that, by varying feeding rates in response to the ...

Cultural services of marine bivalves are of high value as they provide well-being in many different ways. These services are more difficult to quantify but provide a lot of qualities. Shell collectioning, shells as archives, ...

Bivalves are foundation species with important regulating functions in the ecosystem. This is due to their function as filter feeders, their capacity to extract particles, to regenerate as well as store nutrients and – for ...
