Astaxanthin as a biomarker for fish feed loading in the marine ecosystem
Sporsheim, Kamilla (Master thesis, 2017)Organic waste released from a fish farm, is one of the main challenges facing aquaculture today, and to increase fish, production it is important to minimize the impact this have on the environment. The aim of this study ... -
Benthic Communities on the Mohn’s Treasure Mound: Implications for Management of Seabed Mining in the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge
