Omtrent 20% av laksen som blir slaktet i Norge videreforedles til filetprodukter før de eksporteres eller selges innenlands. Buklister, rygger, hoder, kjøttavskjær («Bits and pieces») og mørk muskel (brunkjøtt) fra skinn etter dypskinning er restråstoffer fra sekundær prosessering av oppdrettslaks egnet til menneskemat. Produktene anvendes gjerne i supper og farseprodukter. Formålet med denne oppgaven ...

However, there is a fundamental difference between the fishing sector in Iceland and Norway. In Iceland, the government ...

The lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus Linnaeus, 1758) has for many years been an attractive target for the roe fisheries in Norway and has more recently become an important cleanerfish in the salmonid farming industry for the control of salmon lice (Copepoda: Caligidae). Despite this, there is a lack of knowledge about several life aspects of the species and studies on its genetic structure have been ...

Salmon farming is a rapidly growing industry in the North and its sustainable development depends on adequate governance. We have assessed the governance systems for salmon farming in four northern countries, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Norway. In all the countries, the industry is marked by controversies, linked to the environmental and societal impacts of its activities. The question ...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) studies of fisheries usually apply output oriented capacity utilization based on physical measures. Although physical measures capture important input factors employed in fishing activities (such as boat size, engine power), economic measures directly reflect the cost of inputs employed. This case study investigates whether economic measures are vital or whether ...
