• The development of large scale aquaculture production: A comparison of the supply chains for chicken and salmon 

      Asche, Frank; Cojocaru, Andreea-Laura; Roth, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08)
      The supply chain for salmon is, in many respects, the world's most efficient seafood supply chain. Adopting new technologies and expanding the scale of production have improved competitiveness leading to increased production ...
    • The future looks like the past: Introgression of domesticated Atlantic salmon escapees in a risk assessment framework 

      Glover, Kevin; Wennevik, Vidar; Hindar, Kjetil; Skaala, Øystein; Fiske, Peder; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Svåsand, Terje; Karlsson, Sten; Berg Andersen, Lasse; Grefsrud, Ellen Sofie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-06)
      Escapes of domesticated fish from aquaculture, followed by interbreeding with wild conspecifics, represent a threat to the genetic integrity and evolutionary trajectory of natural populations. Approximately fifty years of ...
    • Hesitant reforms: The Norwegian approach towards ITQ's 

      Standal, Dag; Asche, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-11)
      Abstract In Norway, the rationale for fleet adaptations has been subject to different interpretations and policies. While coastal settlement, a surplus fishing capacity and a negative resource rent were dominant adaptations ...
    • Implications of Entry Restrictions to Address Externalities in Aquaculture: The Case of Salmon Aquaculture 

      Soini, Vesa-Heikki; Øglend, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10)
      This paper investigates production license management when regulation constrains the number of production licenses to address production externalities. This is increasingly relevant for aquaculture production where disease ...
    • Measuring potential rents in the North Sea herring fishery 

      Arnason, Ragnar; Bjørndal, Trond; Gordon, Daniel Vernon; Bezabih, Mintewab (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper assesses the potential for rent generation in the North Sea herring fishery. The assessment distinguishes between rents and intra-marginal profits—the sum of which constitutes variable profits in the fishery. A ...
    • On the relationship between aquaculture and reduction fisheries 

      Asche, Frank; Tveterås, Sigbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004-07)
      Recently, there has been a growing concern that increased aquaculture production poses an environmental threat to the species targeted in so-called reduction fisheries, the main source for fishmeal. The argument is that ...
    • Recent trends in salmon price volatility 

      Øglend, Atle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08)
      Since the start of intensive salmon farming, salmon has become an increasingly cheaper source of protein. Salmon has transitioned from a relative luxurious food item to a staple part of everyday diets. For most of the 1980s ...
    • The cost of lice: Quantifying the impacts of parasitic sea lice on farmed salmon 

      Abolofia, Jay; Wilen, James E; Asche, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-04)
      Diseases are an important challenge in aquaculture. However, most of what is known about the effect of diseases comes from laboratory experiments. Using a farm-level data set containing sea lice infestation counts for all ...
    • The operationalisation of sustainability: Sustainable aquaculture production as defined by certification schemes 

      Osmundsen, Tonje Cecilie; Amundsen, Vilde Steiro; Alexander, Karen A.; Asche, Frank; Bailey, Jennifer Leigh; Finstad, Bengt; Olsen, Marit Schei; Hernandez, Klaudia; Salgado, Hugo (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-01)
      Sustainability certification has become an increasingly important feature in aquaculture production, leading to a multitude of schemes with various criteria. However, the large number of schemes and the complexity of the ...
