The successful control of cataracts in aquaculture is also considered important with respect to maintaining the industry's high ethical standards of production and superior product profile. Christian Wallace Textbook on Domestic Animal Physiology Existing text books on domestic animal physiology are either too comprehensive and too heavy for students, or they place themselves at the other end of the scale. The professors, ystein Sjaastad, Olav Sand and Knut Hove, are currently producing all of the text, and it is translated into English by medical expertise in the United States. Excellent Norwegian medical artist will illustrate the book in full colour. VESO acts as publisher for the book, and it is scheduled to be completed by July 2001.
All norwegian boats licensed for traditional minke whale hunt have an inspector on board.
The inspector observes that the whaling is performed according to the regulations. Besides, he or she collects scientific data and biological samples in relation to evaluation of sustainable level of harvest. The inspector also registers all relevant data of the process of killing the whales, as a contribution to the development of the most efficient hunting method and killing equipment. Since 1993 VESO on behalf of The Directorate of Fisheries has administered the arrangement of whaling inspectors. Thus, each year VESO appoints the inspectors for the annual hunt, gives them the proper education and mans each boat with an inspector.
