From Research to Sustainable Practice
What political measures are needed to help producers and consumers adopt more sustainable practices and reduce plastic pollution in aquaculture? This is exactly what Dr. Ngan Le Thi Thanh is researching as a postdoctoral fellow at CRI Dsolve.
New PhD Candidate in Dsolve
Erik Johannesen Bakke started as a PhD student at Dsolve in January this year. He contributes to Research Area 4, where he will examine microplastic emissions from aquaculture and the environmental and socio-economic consequences they may cause.
Global Seafood Alliance has written an article about Dsolve
Sintef scientist Christian Karl explains Dsolve to global audience in the Global Seafood Alliance article "Scientists in Norway explore biodegradable fishing gear to tackle plastic pollution in the ocean".
New research explores fishers’ perceptions of biodegradable fishing gear adoption
The new study "Navigating transition: understanding fishers’ perceptions of biodegradable fishing gear adoption" explores fishers’ perceptions of biodegradable fishing gear adoption, providing insights into key barriers and potential incentives for transition.
Longline fishing becoming more environmentally friendly
A new research project funded by the Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF) aim to develop environmentally friendly materials for use in longline fishing. The project is led by UiT The Arctic University of Norway, together with SINTEF Ocean, SINTEF Industry and industry partners in Dsolve.
UArctic project workshop held onboard RV Helmer Hanssen
During December 2024, UArctic project “Networking for increasing sustainability in snow crab fisheries in the Arctic” held the second workshop onboard RV Helmer Hanssen during a research cruise in the Barents Sea (14th – 20th of December 2024).
Christmas Greeting from the Center Director
Yet another busy year for Dsolve is close to ending, and we can look back on a productive period. Center Director Roger Larsen, recaps 2024 in his Christmas greeting.

How scientists will prevent plastic pollution in the ocean
Ropes and fishing gear used in the fisheries and aquaculture industries are a major source of microplastics in the ocean and littering along the coastline. A multidisciplinary international research team has now drawn up a plan that will help to reduce pollution.
