The three major North Norwegian farmers, Cermaq, candy jars for candy bar Nordlaks and Nova Sea, in cooperation with AquaGen and CIGENE at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences candy jars for candy bar (NMBU) initiate DNA tracking of farmed salmon. The first traceable salmon are released into the sea in the autumn of 2015, and the trace will identify the origin of the fish so that any escaped fish can be traced back to the owner.
- This method makes it possible to hold the breeder responsible for fish that have escaped from their facility. At one escapes episode in our production areas, suspicious fish could always be checked against parent database and confirm or deny whether they originate from our companies, said Cermaq's CEO Jon Hindar.
The technology to be used for DNA tracking is originally developed for medical purposes and has long been used in paternity testing, as well as the investigation of the biological evidence in criminal cases. AquaGen will be responsible for tissue sampling and logistics associated with brood fish and CIGENE shall analyze the samples using a so-called SNP analysis where at least 10,000 candy jars for candy bar genetic markers used simultaneously.
- This is a powerful tool that has been developed by researchers in AquaGen and CIGENE and that will provide definitive answers about an escaped fish comes from parents in the data register, said Professor Sigbjørn Lien CIGENE.
- DNA trace can distinguish between farmed and wild salmon, and provide important information about the origins of both errors wandered wild and descendants of escaped farmed salmon. DNA tracking candy jars for candy bar will be a method in addition to tracking with mineral deposition in shells, and enhance the overall preparedness industry has at its disposal the escape episodes, candy jars for candy bar says technical director of AquaGen, Nina Santi.
The first farmed salmon that are traceable to this method hatched in winter 2014/2015 and set to sea in autumn 2015. Companies Cermaq, Nordlaks and Nova Sea has a total annual production of approx. 150,000 tons.
