Oil transport from the Russian Arctic. Is the Barents Sea environment at risk? The volumes of oil being transported by sea from the Russian Arctic along the coast of Northern Norway were insignificant before 2002. In 2006, however, a total of 10 million tons of Russian export oil and oil products were shipped from Russia, on ships that sailed along the coast of Norway. The annual oil exports from the Russian Arctic regions via this Northern route may reach a total of about 50-80 million tons in the next decade. About 50 million tons of crude oil and oil products are estimated to be delivered by railway to the Murmansk ports in the Barents Sea, and to Kandalaksha and Arkhangelsk in the White Sea. Furthermore, up to 20 million tons of oil will be produced in the northern oil fields in the Nenets Autonomous Region and in the Pechora Sea. The terminals in the Kara Sea, can load 2-3 million tons of crude a year. The Barents Sea is one of the most productive oceans worldwide. Few other places on our planet give home to the same amount of breeding seabirds. Here, more than 20 million seabirds from 40 species breed in 1.600 colonies every year. Many of the seabird populations are of mixed Russian-Norwegian origin. In case of an oil spill, the actual amount of oil spilled is not necessarily decisive for the effects on sea bird colonies. The Stylis had a relatively small spill " but 45.000 seabirds were killed. The estimated mortality of the accident was, however, 200.000-300.000 birds. The Amoco Cadiz spilled 223.000 tons of crude oil, but killed 5.000 seabirds. Methods for evaluation of effects on and treatment of birds that have been involved in an oil spill do exist. After the Prestige accident outside Spain, 23.428 seabirds were collected. 5.776 survived. About 1.000 seabirds were released back to nature at a cost of approximately NOK 23.000 (USD 4.100 or EUR 3.000) per bird. The increased development of offshore petroleum fields and increasing sea transport of hydrocarbon products are bound to have a negative effect on the environment. Oil and gas industry developments in the Barents Sea, fisheries, pollution and climate change are the most important treats to the environment in our time. When carrying out impact assessments of activities connected to petroleum activities in this area, one of these factors cannot be evaluated separately, without taking all the other risks into account.

The present distribution and host plant preferences of the polyphagous pest species Liriomyza sativae, L. huidobrensis, L. trifolii and L. bryoniae within the different provinces of Vietnam is discussed. For each species also the possible further spread within Vietnam is discussed.

En undersøkelse ved Høgskolen i Nord-Trøndelag har sett nærmere på hva som skal til for å lykkes med småskalaforedling av mjølk. Det kan være en spennende og trivelig hobby, men for at det skal gi arbeid og inntekt av betydning kreves pågangsmot, kunnskap og systematisk innsats.

Målet med den svenske frøavlskampanjen "Vallfrö 10000" er å øke produksjonen fra dagens 7000 tonn til 10000 tonn innnen 2010.  Samtidig skal gjennomsnittsfrøavlingene økes med 10%. Sverige er allerede i dag (2008) verdens største produsentland for økologisk frø.  I denne artikklen har vi intervjuet leder for kampanjen, Thorsten Rahbek Pedersen.
