Start year 2013 End year 2016 Funding (€) € 1,109,988 Website https://www.fhf.no/prosjekter/prosjektbasen/900909/ Summary "The project's main goal is to provide knowledge that can contribute to a better basis for coexistence between the fisheries and aquaculture industries. In particular, this will concern how the quality of wild fish is affected by the farming activity and which measures can help to reduce any negative effects. Possible effects on reproduction in wild fish associated with aquaculture facilities will be investigated in more detail. Furthermore, the project will contribute to understanding the dynamics of biomass of wild fish around farms, e.g. how this varies with facility type and operating intensity. This will also have an impact on the opportunities to catch this fish. The project will have activities on catching wild fish around the facility.
Sub-objectives:
- To exchange and summarize knowledge from previous and new research between researchers, various users of the coast and the administration through written reports and local seminars.
- To propose relevant measures to prevent and exploit farm-associated fish in a sustainable way, including mapping any quality deterioration in farm-associated wild fish, i.e. primarily cod that have a diet consisting of waste feed.
- To develop effective methods for catching farm-associated wild fish, both to maximize catch per effort, ensure optimal product quality and to avoid adverse effects for both industries.
- To investigate whether the reproductive potential of farm-associated cod is affected compared to natural cod and to evaluate any measures to prevent or prevent any negative effects, including the location of farm facilities.
- To evaluate the extent to which farming leads to increased local wild fish biomass by developing a bioenergetic model to estimate the flow and distribution of energy from farming to wild fish, in order to facilitate the sustainable exploitation of farming-associated wild fish as a resource for the coastal fisheries."
