Seafood production in Northern Norway: Analyzing variation and co-development in aquaculture and coastal fisheries
Norway is one of the leading ocean-based food production nations. Its seafood industry comprises wild-capture fisheries and farmed fish production. Both industries play a provisional role but also contribute to economic development of the country and help sustain coastal communities, particularly, i...
