NASLOV:  Economic impact of parasites/diseases on a highly popular fish species in Norway
————————————————————————————————————————– 

The focus of my talk will be on the economic impact of parasites/dieases on a highly popular fish species in Norway, the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the Gyrodactylus salaris parasite. I will present how to measure the impact by using revealed preferences method (travel cost method) and the cost-benefit ratio of eradicating the parasite. G. salaris was introduced in Norway in 1975 by the fish- farming industry, and infected more than 50 rivers out of the 400 rivers with atlantic salmon.
