Researchers at Murdoch University are investigating the uses of a salt tolerant plant in both aquaculture and agriculture. The saltgrass, Distichlis spicata is very effective at removing salt from water.
AKVA Group has bought 70 percent of the shares in Plastsveis AS
for a price of NOK 20 million. 90 percent of the purchase price will be
paid in cash on completion. The remaining 10 percent will be paid six
months after the transaction is completed. The transaction is subject to
final approval from the Norwegian competition authorities and is
assumed to be completed mid March 2013, with operational effect from
January 1,
2013.
The Research Council of Norway's Platform for Viral Aquaculture Medicine is getting closer to developing a much-needed vaccine against ISA and IPN in salmon. Researchers have been studying how these viruses side step the salmon immune system and which immune response may provide protection against diseases.
