說明
On behalf of SalMar Farming AS, Aqua Kompetanse AS has conducted a survey of vulnerable species and habitats in shallow waters (0–50 m) and deep waters (>50 m). The purpose of the survey is to identify the presence and observed density of vulnerable species that may form habitats listed on the Norwegian Red List for Ecosystems and Habitat Types (Artsdatabanken, 2018), on OSPAR’s list of threatened and/or declining habitats (OSPAR 2008-06, revised in 2021), and among the proposed management-relevant habitat types for fisheries and aquaculture (Institute of Marine Research Report, 2024-16). At depths greater than 50 meters, the focus is mainly on corals, sponges, and sea pens. However, other red-listed and/or vulnerable species that live in close interaction with the three-dimensional habitats formed by the aforementioned groups will also be described when relevant. At depths shallower than 50 meters, the survey includes kelp forests, soft-bottom shoreline areas, coarse substrate bottoms, marine seagrass beds, exposed blue mussel beds, oysters, scallop populations, corals, sponges, sea pens, and any other red-listed shallow-water species. The investigation is based on the Institute of Marine Research’s proposed methodology for surveying vulnerable species and habitats in deep water (>50 meters depth) in connection with applications for marine aquaculture (Kutti and Husa 2021).

取樣方法
The survey was conducted on May 2, May 7, and May 8, 2024. A total of 14 transects were mapped within the investigation area. These transects were designed by a consultant from Aqua Kompetanse AS based on the Institute of Marine Research's proposed methodology for mapping vulnerable species and habitats in shallow and deep water for marine aquaculture applications (Kutti and Husa, 2021; Kutti and Husa, 2022), as well as a professional assessment of the site's bathymetry and current conditions. The ROV was operated by a dedicated ROV pilot, while a consultant with a master’s degree in biology made ongoing assessments of conditions along the transects and any necessary adjustments. Continuous video recordings were made of the transects, and still photos were also taken in the field, with findings documented in a survey log. The video material from the ROV’s HD camera was analyzed by a consultant with a master's degree in biology or oceanography and experience in analyzing underwater video footage. Data was generated through continuous video analysis, with spatial data points placed every 50 meters along each transect (one data point = 50 meters of video line). There is significant uncertainty regarding the estimation of the exact area surveyed by the ROV. Aqua Kompetanse AS uses a camera with a 58.2-degree angle. During ROV operation, the camera captures both vertical and some horizontal angles. The mapping width of each video transect line is estimated by Aqua Kompetanse AS to be approximately 5 meters. While it is not possible to identify all species and individuals within this area, Aqua Kompetanse AS considers that the presence of vulnerable habitat types will be detected. If such habitats are observed, the ROV operator will investigate the extent of the finding more closely, which may involve deviating from the planned transect lines. The ROV is equipped with both an HD camera and a lower-resolution camera that captures a wider field of view. This allows the field consultant to ensure that relevant findings along the transect are detected as effectively as possible. The ROV also has a mounted laser, with two parallel beams fixed at 5 cm, which is used to measure the size of observed features during video analysis. For each data point, the dominant substrate type was recorded, based on the European standard for visual mapping of seabeds in deep-water locations (EN 16260:2012). Substrates were categorized as: bedrock and large boulders (FF), very coarse sediment (St), coarse sediment, sand and gravel (G), silt and clay (S), coral rubble (KG), and dead coral framework (DK). Substrate type was also recorded for each individual observation. Findings included in the mapping were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level. Sponges that could not be identified to species level through visual observation were grouped by genus when possible or otherwise categorized by morphotype as described by Kazanidis et al. (2019) and later in Norwegian by Kutti and Husa (2021). Sponges smaller than 5 cm were not registered, nor included in the density calculations. Reference: Haddad, C.; Alegretti, C.B. (2024).

| 研究範圍 | The area investigated is located northwest of Lyngvær, in Harøyfjorden, in Aukra Municipality. The depth beneath the facility ranges from approximately 40 to 250 meters. The bathymetry in the area is complex, which may influence local water currents. Water current measurements were carried out by Åkerblå in 2023 over a period of at least one month (Åkerblå, 2023). The dispersal current (measured at 60 m depth) indicates diffuse water exchange and is not significantly affected by tidal movement. The bottom current (measured at 95 m) shows more distinct exchange directions and is tide-driven. The survey area is primarily based on the dispersal current but also takes bathymetry and other known currents into account. The survey area was set to 500 meters in all directions, in accordance with Kutti and Husa (2021), and to 1000meter in a 225-degree direction. It is assumed that the current may bend slightly northward, but this is expected to have limited impact. Areas shallower than 10 meters are not surveyed with ROV, as this method is not suitable for such depths. According to DN Handbook 19 and the Norwegian Environment Agency’s Naturbase maps, modelled larger kelp forests are registered south and northeast of the site, toward islets and skerries. No spawning grounds are located within the survey area or in its immediate vicinity. Reference: Haddad, C.; Alegretti, C.B. (2024).

方法步驟描述:
- Equipment: Aqua Kompetanse AS normally uses an Aegir 50 ROV from Ocean Robotics, equipped with a minimum of 3 x 3500 lumen LED lights, an HD camera with zoom, and Advanced Navigation underwater positioning with an accuracy of 1.5 meters per 100 meters. The positioning system is connected to a GNSS antenna from Advanced Navigation. The size of observed objects is measured using a mounted laser with two fixed beams spaced 50 mm apart. The type of ROV used is selected based on the survey area, depth, and logistical considerations. All equipment used meets, at a minimum, the baseline requirements specified by Kutti and Husa (2021 and 2022). Reference: Haddad, C.; Alegretti, C.B. (2024).
