Anne Stene

Anne Stene is a Researcher affiliated with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). Her work focuses on aquaculture, fish health, and marine biology, particularly addressing challenges such as pathogen transmission, salmon lice resistance, and stress responses in farmed fish. She has collaborated with institutions like Møreforsking and PatoGen Analyse AS on research projects and has contributed to coastal planning initiatives for sustainable aquaculture development.

• Research Interests:
• Health and welfare of farmed fish
• Pathogen reservoirs and transmission dynamics in marine farming sites
• Interactions between wild and farmed salmonids, including genetic resistance studies
• Coastal and marine planning for aquaculture development
• Environmental impact assessments of aquaculture practices, such as cleaner fish use and net cleaning effects
• Pest control strategies targeting salmon lice infestations through natural and innovative approaches

Her recent research highlights stress biomarkers in farmed salmon, evolution of pesticide-resistant salmon lice populations, and sustainable solutions to mitigate disease spread between farmed and wild fish populations. Collaborations include studies on cortisol metabolites, pyrethroid resistance patterns, and coastal management systems.

Stene has authored numerous reports on disease control, including strategies to prevent viral spread in aquaculture, and contributed to projects like NAUTILUS21, an ocean simulator for Norway’s coastal waters. Her work emphasizes reducing biomass density to combat sea lice infestation and integrates ecological and industrial perspectives for responsible aquaculture practices.

She collaborates with research teams at Møreforsking, PatoGen Analyse AS, and Nofima AS, focusing on interdisciplinary solutions for aquaculture challenges. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided text.
