Invasive Comb Jellyfish Pose No Threat To Young Cod
The direct threat from the killer warty comb jellyfish to the Baltic cod population has been shown not to be so serious after all. Even though the invasive killer jelly feeds constantly, cod eggs seem not to be on the menu. In fact, if they accidentally...

New Knowledge On Fatty Tissue In Salmon
Knowledge of the development and function of fatty tissue in fish has until recently been relatively scarce. A high quantity of fat around the guts means production loss at slaughter, and may also influence fish health. There has therefore been an increasing...
