Small micro- and nanoplastic test and reference materials for research: Current status and future needs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Environmental plastic pollution comprises partially degraded particles representing a continuum of sizes, shapes, polymer types and chemical compositions. Owing to their potential for biological uptake, small microplastic ... -
Characterization of nutrients and contaminants in fish sludge from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) production sites - A future resource
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)A total of 47 fish sludge samples from commercial land-based Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farms in Norway were assessed for their nutrient composition, presence of various legacy contaminants and a wide spectrum of ... -
Long term fate and behaviour of oil in an Arctic shoreline - Part 2, activities in 2024
(SINTEF Ocean rapporter;2024:01460 A, Research report, 2024-12-12)In this work, analysis of sediment samples collected from an oil-contaminated beach at Svalbard has been performed. Chemical fingerprinting analyses in combination with analysis of the microbial communities present have ... -
Characterization of pure and admixed brown trout (Salmo trutta) populations of high conservation value in the upper Danubian contact zone using ddRADseq genotyping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Increasing rates of hybridization and introgression in managed populations of freshwater fish are a major threat to the long-term viability of native species. The conservation challenge begins with identifying native gene ... -
Early warning through video monitoring: Dissolved hydrogen sulphide (H2S) affects Atlantic salmon swimming behavior in recirculating aquaculture systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) poses a major threat in marine land-based recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) leading to acute mortality in sensitive fish species such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). To date, little is known ... -
Measuring environmental concentrations of hydrogen peroxide following bath treatment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Measurements of environmental concentrations of hydrogen peroxide following bath treatment at a Norwegian fish farming site was performed by using a flexible, robust and mobile measurement system covering multiple depths, ... -
Toward Digitalization of Fishing Vessels to Achieve Higher Environmental and Economic Sustainability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Fishing vessels need to adapt to and mitigate climate changes, but solution development requires better information about the environment and vessel operations. Even if ships generate large amounts of potentially useful ... -
Fatigue assessment of suspended inter-array power cables for floating offshore wind turbines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The present paper aims to investigate the fatigue behavior of suspended inter-array power cables connecting two floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). Two spar FOWTs interconnected with a dynamic power cable are chosen ... -
Valorisation of salmon backbones: Extraction of gelatine and its applicability in biodegradable films
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Salmon backbones make up about 10 % of the total fish weight and contain valuable proteins, collagen and lipids that can be used for marine ingredients production. Gelatine is derived from the collagen fraction and this ... -
A Review of Methods for Modelling Flooding, Its Progression and Outcome in Damaged Ships
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The timely and precise prediction of flooding progression and its eventual outcome in ships with breached hulls can lead to dramatic improvements in maritime safety through improved guidance for both emergency response and ... -
Regulatory and legal frameworks recommendations for short sea shipping maritime autonomous surface ships
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This study aims to provide recommendations for addressing the gaps in the existing regulatory and legal frameworks, including the international and national regulations, rules, and standards for developing Maritime Autonomous ... -
Bioaccumulation of pharmaceuticals and stimulants in macrobenthic food web in the European Arctic as determined using stable isotope approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Although pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in abiotic matrices in the Arctic, the accumulation of drugs in the resident biota and trophic transfer have not been yet examined. This study investigated the behaviour ... -
Operational cycles for maritime transportation: Consolidated methodology and assessments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Operational cycles for maritime transportation is a new concept to improve the assessment of ships’ energy efficiency and offer benchmarking options among similar ship types and sizes. This work extends previous research ... -
Salmon trade duration: The application of firm-level trade transaction data from the Norwegian salmon industry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Seafood products are mainly provided through trade to international markets and Norway is the major international player for the export of salmon products. It is argued that fresh or chilled salmon, which are perishable ... -
Can higher resource utilization be achieved in demersal fish supply chains? Status and challenges from Iceland and Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Most of the harvested demersal fish from Norway and Iceland is from sustainable, but fully exploited fish stocks. Increasing the harvest is therefore not considered a feasible option to meet the future global demand of ... -
