  • Advancing Real-Time eDNA Monitoring of Toxic Jellyfish

    Early detection of biological threats is a growing challenge for the aquaculture industry. In recent years, increased observations of Apolemia spp., colonial siphonophores commonly referred to as string jellyfish, have raised concern due to their potential to cause serious harm to farmed salmon. These organisms can occur suddenly and in large aggregations, making timely detection essential for eff

  • First successful winter campaign of the FROST team

    A team of scientists from NINA and Akvaplan-niva just carried out the first field campaign for the FROST project, with the full title: "Arctic Freshwater Food Systems: Influence of Warming Winters and Increased Snow Cover". FROST is funded by Nordforsk under the Arctic Sustainability call and brings together a large international team of researchers to study Arctic freshwater food webs during wint

  • Acoustic Analytics and Advanced Modelling Unlock New Insights into Farmed Cod Behavior

    New studies introduce a cutting-edge engineering framework for understanding behavior, welfare, and feeding dynamics in farmed Atlantic cod. By merging continuous acoustic monitoring, signal-processing workflows, and parametric environmental modeling, the research provides the most detailed quantitative picture to date of how cod interact with their surroundings and feeding systems in commercial s

  • På sporet av laksesmolten – om sporingsprosjektet i Repparfjorden

    Det er for tiden stor bekymring for nedgangen i villaksbestandene og det er i denne sammenheng viktig med kunnskap om alle aspekter ved laksens liv, fra våre elver og ut til storhavet. I kjølvannet av debatten om effekten av lakselus fra oppdrett på villaks så har forskere i Altafjordsystemet over tid undersøkt om smoltens vandringsrute og tidspunkt for utvandring er overlappende med sjøområder hv

#OCEAN #DIGITAL #TWIN On February 10th the first in-person technical meeting of the #DIVE project was held in the historic city of Bucharest, Romania. The meeting was organized by the lead partner University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest (UPB). The project is funded by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (#SBEP) and full title is "Digital Twin for Innovation in Oceanic Visualization and Exploration." Lionel Camus and Debanshu Ratha from Akvaplan-niva attended the meeting in-person. They contributing to the discussion on various project components, including planning for on the Lofoten-Vesterålen (LoVe) case study, which is led by Akvaplan-niva. Maj Arnberg, also Akvaplan-niva, participated online and held a presentation on the concept of “Joint Living Labs“ where scientists and stakeholders will collaborate in tools development in DIVE. The DIVE project, was also presented by project leader Prof. Mihai Datcu (UPB) at the second SBEP Symposium Week which also took place in Bucharest, February 11. The title of this event was “Full Sail Ahead Towards Sustainable Blue Economy.” Photo: Gulten Reiz (PhD student) from National Institute for Marine Research and Development “Grigore Antipa“ Constanta, Romania.

We are very pleased with a range of activities at this year Arctic Frontiers. Our management team hosted partner events, we arranged two side-events with our partners that were well visited and our colleagues coordinated the Emerging Leaders program and held several presentations in different science sessions. We are proud that our brilliant colleague Kanchana Bandara won the 2026 Arctic Frontiers Outstanding Poster Award. Congratulations to him and not to forget, congratulations to the Arctic Frontiers secretariat for a very well attended and successful conference. Well done all!

Are you attending the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromsø next week? If so we hope you will attend our side-event on environmental monitoring of aquaculture that is on Tuesday Feb 3 at 13.30 at Clarion hotel the Edge. We have put together a very interesting program in which we will look into possible implications from the latest white paper on aquaculture from the Norwegian government. Also, we will present some possible innovative solutions for a more effective and fair monitoring of environmental effects from this important industry.
