Knowledge Centre for salmon and ecotoxicity

The Knowledge Centre for salmon and ecotoxicity (Norwegian: Kunnskapssenter for laks og vannmiljø, KLV) is a Norwegian foundation established to increase knowledge about wild salmon stocks. It opened in June 2007 and, as of September 2011, had two permanent employees. The foundation is co-located with Nord-Trøndelag University College (Høgskolen i Nord-Trøndelag, HiNT) at its Namsos campus, and it takes the entire natural distribution range of wild salmon as its field of interest. KLV's mandate is to contribute to increased knowledge about wild salmon stocks, including their optimal living conditions, so that this knowledge can form the basis for sustainable management and sustainable commercial exploitation of wild salmon stocks. Key salmon interests — aquaculture, sport fishing, fishing rights holders and research — are represented on the foundation's board. The foundation's academic council consists of representatives from various research and competence environments; its task is to define relevant research projects and to propose researchers and research environments to carry out those projects. The centre publishes books in the series Kunnskapsserien for laks og vannmiljø (Knowledge Series for Salmon and Water Environment). Published titles include Kunnskapsstatus for Laks og Vannmiljø i Namsenvassdraget (2006), Interaksjoner mellom lakseoppdrett og villaks: Oppdatering av kunnskapen etter NOU 1999:9 (2007), and Effekter av vassdragsregulering på villaks (2010). Through this publishing activity and its board and academic council structure, KLV acts as a Norwegian knowledge hub linking salmon research, management and commercial interests.
