Last years treatment of Halsfjorden against the salmon parasite gyrodactylus salaris led to a considerable reduction of parasites in the area. This is stated in the projects annual report. The salmon parasite was first detected in the Halsan river and the Hestdal river, both connected to Halsfjorden, in 2002.
The annual report for 2007 on the treatment against salmon parasite gyrodactylus salaris in Halsfjorden has just been issued. The project is done in collaboration with NIVA ( Norwegian Institute for Water Research). The Directorate for Nature Management is the contractor of the project.
The Report is only available in Norwegian. If you are interested in the project you can contact;
