Det uklarhet mht. hva som egentlig er avgjort ved Volstad-dommen (Høyesteretts plenumsdom av 23 oktober 2013). Jeg skal i denne kronikk kort redegjøre for hva som er avgjort og hva dommen ikke tar stilling til.

Bryr den norske befolkningen seg om dyphavet og de organismer som lever der selv om vi ikke har noen direkte nytte av dem? Er vi villig til å ofre økonomisk aktivitet som fiskeri og oljevirksomhet for beskytte miljøet i dyphavet? Vår studie sier ja.

Assuming a broad set of fisheries management goals, this paper analyzes the implementation of a marine protected area (MPA) together with open access outside, applying a bioeconomic model that ensures unchanged growth post-MPA. Taking into account that conservation and restoration, food security, employment and social surplus are amongst the objectives that many managers include in fisheries management, ...

Virusinfeksjoner utgjør lakseoppdrettsnæringens største sykdomsproblem på landsbasis og forårsaker årlig store tap i form av dødelighet, redusert tilvekst, samt reduksjon i fiskehelse og - velferd. Dette til tross for omfattende smitteforebyggende tiltak og vaksinasjon. Interferonsystemet spiller en nøkkelrolle i det medfødte antivirale forsvaret hos pattedyr, hvor alarmproteinet interferon (IFN) ...

Background: It is challenging to obtain high quality obstetric care in a sparsely populated area. In the subarctic region of Norway, significant distances, weather conditions and seasonable darkness have called for a decentralized care model. We aimed to explore the quality of this care. Methods: A retrospective study employing data (2009–11) from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway was initiated. ...

The majority of actors in the Norwegian fisheries consider recruitment of fishers to be the main future challenge for the Norwegian fishing fleet. As fleet recruitment is a highly politicized field, the problem of how to mitigate the recruitment problem is a subject of heavy debate. Some argue that recruitment problems are caused by low fleet profitability, while others argue that recruitment ...

Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is associated with heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). We have performed detailed sequence analysis of the PRV genome with focus on putative encoded proteins, compared with prototype strains from mammalian (MRV T3D)- and avian orthoreoviruses (ARV-138), and aquareovirus (GCRV-873). Amino acid identities were low for ...

One aspect of ecosystem-based management is to include new stakeholders. When an environmental NGO (ENGO) gets a say in the fisheries management, this will affect the authorities' optimal regulation. Combining a principal-agent model and a steady-state bioeconomic model, we show that under symmetric information the authorities will moderate their use of regulation as a response to the ENGO's increased ...

Agriculture plays vital role in Ethiopian economy. However, despite its importance and potential, the sector has remained at subsistence level. Animal protein is the most deficient nutrient in human diet. One of the traditional sources of animal protein of the developing world is through livestock rearing. Unfortunately, the livestock production is under increasing pressure from the combined effects ...
