The collaboration between Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði and Matís for research on the environmental issues of the coastal sea has undoubtedly resulted in new thoughts and approaches, according to Þorleif Eiríksson, director of Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði.

Þorleifur says in a conversation with Útvegsblaðið that the collaboration shows the possibilities inherent in cluster collaboration such as the Icelandic Ocean Cluster.

The research collaboration between Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði and Matís has ranged from observations of optimal locations for aquaculture to what happens to organic residues such as eutrophication of bottom and sea. The collaboration began when Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði came to Matís' research regarding experiments with using light to delay the maturation of cod. Náttúrustofan also participated in Matís' study of the environmental aspects of aquaculture that the company worked on with aquaculture companies in the Westfjords.

Due to the collaboration, Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði has been able to increasingly develop various theories that can be generalized! from. The research has also produced results that are more useful to aquaculture than narrow service research. "Since then, our collaboration has enabled Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði to move to pure academic basic research on the environmental issues of coastal waters in addition to consulting and service research for individual companies. Among other things, we have conducted research on what happens to organic excesses that are released into the environment and their impact on the marine environment. That project has developed into our largest collaborative project, "says Þorleifur to Útvegsblaðið.

New ideas and approaches have emerged as a result of the collaboration. "When it comes to our projects, the main thing is to work on research that promotes environmentally friendly aquaculture. The research has since developed into larger projects where we are trying to understand these environmental issues in a larger whole. We were completing a basic research project we call “Biosphere Life! a. "This is a basic study of the tolerance limits of Icelandic fjords for organic pollution."

According to Þorleif, other research has been carried out in collaboration with Matís, for example on the development of breeding pens and what attachments are attached to the pens. Náttúrustofa Vestfjarði, in collaboration with Matís, is working on examining the combination of cod and mussels, but it is too early to report those results.

In December 2011, Matvælastofnun issued a draft guideline on microbiological criteria based on the provisions of European Regulation (EC / 2073/2005), which has entered into force in Iceland.

It is clear that the guidelines are asking for increased sampling in food production at most food companies in order to verify that the methods used to prevent dangers are yielding the desired results.

Matís runs the largest accredited food laboratory in the country and works with numerous food companies, large and small, around the country. We offer measurements according to the needs of individual companies and can also provide advice and assistance with sampling and the preparation of sampling plans.

Please contact Franklín Georgsson at 422-5000 or 858-5040 or at profun@matis.is.

Matís employs experts with extensive experience and knowledge in all areas of food production. We can therefore also offer food companies comprehensive services and advice tailored to the needs of each customer. These include services regarding:

• Interpretation of measurement results with respect to regulatory criteria
• Consulting and assistance with the installation and maintenance of quality manuals and quality systems
• Advice on food processing, hazard analysis of processing and minimization of risk during processing and distribution
• Evaluating the effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection measures and ways to improve

We invite companies to contact Margeir Gissurarson at tel. 422-5000 or 858-5093, but you can also send inquiries to the e-mail address radgjof@matis.is.

During the university day, Icelanders are invited to visit the country's universities and see and see with their own eyes and ears what is on offer in the schools. The program includes countless events, presentations and events that show science in a colorful and vibrant light.

The University of Iceland offers presentations on numerous study programs. For example, there will be presentations on food science, nutrition and a new master's program in food science. Matís is a participant along with others in the new master's program in food science.

Further information about the new master's program can be found here.

During the university day, visitors can get acquainted with the university's diverse range of courses, both undergraduate and graduate studies, activities and services, visit laboratories, equipment, facilities and premises. There will be scientists and students from all departments of the school answering questions about everything between heaven and earth - or as close as possible. Student counselors give good advice and the multifaceted services and colorful social life that is available to students at the University of Iceland will be introduced.

The University of Iceland presents all studies in Main building, Háskólatorg, Askja and will also have science exhibitions in University Cinema. Háskólabíó will also feature the University of Akureyri, Hólar University, Hólar, the Agricultural University of Iceland, the Iceland Academy of the Arts, Keilir and Nordic universities with a presentation of their studies.

There will also be the nationally famous The bombing rate of the University of Iceland with colorful displays and University of Iceland Science Center will be opened in the lobby of Háskólabíós in a formal way.

Reykjavík University will present its study programs in Nauthólsvík, but the Iceland Academy of the Arts will also be there at the University Cinema.
