BIOFORSK NORD BODØ:THE NORTHERN ALGAE COMMITMENT!!! Natural sources of antioxidants, a necessity for animal health and welfare and product quality in organic livestock production. Study of the utilization of seaweed as a natural source for vitamin E and other healthy components on ewes and their offspring, and the effects on the intestinal microbiota and immune system. Environment friendly fish farming and use of cleaner fish Research on antibacterial activity of microalgae used as green water for the development of rearing of ballan wrasse for control of sea lice in organic fish farming. www.eco-fish.org Funding: Northern Periphery EU-Programme, Nordland County Collaboration: University of Nordland, Viking Fish Farm Ltd (UK), Marine Ryan Institute (Ireland), DaithiO’Murchu Marine Research Station (Ireland) Contact: C.
