Monitoring of fish blood welfare parameters
Influence of Hypercapnia on fish blood physiology
New technologies for monitoring of fish blood parameters
My research field is related to monitoring and control of welfare of fish during alive fish transportation – well boat transport. This study includes observation on both pelagic and farmed fish transportation. Investigations consist of measurements of stress and welfare parameters with focus on temperature, water flow, oxygen and elevated carbon dioxide levels (Hypercapnia). Monitoring of CO2 emissions is also essential in terms of pollution. New and improved environmentally friendly instrumentation for measuring is used in the study.

‘Fisheries & aquaculture’
The fisheries project of the CRI involves MMC Tendos (industry partner), CMR and the University of Bergen (Dept. of Biology (BIO) and Dept. of Physics & Technology (IFT)). The projects aim is to monitor and improve welfare and handling of pelagic fish as well as farmed fish. That is accomplished by performing series of experiments both in laboratory and in field conditions.
