NVI is a partner in NAMC - North Atlantic Microplastic Centre (NAMC). NAMC is organized by NORCE Norwegian Research Centre and aims to engage leading researchers nationally and internationally in a joint effort to understand and quantify how much microplastics is in the environment, the risks related to microplastic pollution in our surroundings, and the best ways to manage the challenge.

Bacterial ulcer conditions cause major animal welfare and financial problems within Norwegian sea-based salmon farming. In this FHF-funded project led by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, we will study the bacterial species involved, both from seawater and fish, in order to better understand why only a few, specific strains of these are overrepresented amongst salmon with ulcers.

Bakterielle sårlidelser forårsaker store dyrevelferdsmessige og økonomiske problemer innen norsk sjøbasert lakseoppdrett. I dette FHF-finansierte prosjektet ledet av Veterinærinstituttet, vil vi studere de involverte bakterieartene, både fra sjøvann og fisk, for å bedre forståelsen av hvorfor bare noen få, spesifikke stammer av disse er overrepresentert blant laks med sår.

ViVaACT aim to characterize the specific mechanisms that separate the host immune response triggered by attenuated or inactivated viruses and their protective potential, focusing primarily on salminid alphavirus (SAV) and Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV). This project may identify clues to protective vaccination against PD and HSMI and related viral diseases in fish.
