This section will address environmental impacts of intensive fish farming.

The key topics that will be addressed is escapees, risks of pathogen transmission with key emphasis on salmon lice, emissions of organic materials from feed waste and feces, chemicals and escapees (genetic interaction). Intensive fish farming have footprints on the environment.

This sections constitutes 7 lectures and three live discussions related to them from Monday 4th through Wednesday 6th in the morning.

In this section, most of the lectures are recorded. In this case you have to connect via the link provided. The lecture will open and you might have to enter a passcode if provided. Below the link to the lectures, you will find links to suggested readings.
