Start year 2021 End year 2022 Funding (€) € 278,800 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/901664/ Summary Algae and jellyfish blooms are natural phenomena. Sometimes such blooms are harmful to aquaculture operations, causing fish deaths and reduced fish welfare.
Main objective:
To map and collate existing knowledge, experiences and technological solutions from Norway and from other countries, and use this knowledge as a basis for preventing and dealing with episodes of toxic algae and jellyfish, including the design and dissemination of recommendations on best practice for various situations .
Sub-goals:
1. To compile a scientific knowledge base on harmful algae and jellyfish, including knowledge of their biology, how they cause damage to fish, how they can be monitored and notified, and what measures can be implemented.
2. To obtain and summarize experience-based knowledge from the industry and expert environment about algae and jellyfish, including how algae and/or jellyfish problems are detected, which measures have been tested and the experience with these.
3. To integrate results from sub-goals 1 and 2 into a user-friendly tool that should be able to provide concrete recommendations on best practice, both for acute algal and jellyfish blooms with high mortality and for smaller blooms that result in reduced welfare and increased mortality over time.
