    Meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Restaurering og habitatforbetrande tiltak i sjøaurevassdrag langs Hardangerfjorden. Sven-Helge Pedersen «Sjøaure Hardangerfjord» - for meir sjøaure i vassdraga kring Hardangerfjorden Ein interesseorganisasjon for grunneigarlag, jakt- og fiskelag i dei 10 kommunane kring Hardangerfjorden. Overordna mål å arbeide for å styrke lokale bestandar av laks og sjøaure i fjord og vassdrag. Sjøauren – ein historisk viktig art for Hardangerbygdene A. F. Mockler-Ferryman si reiseskildring “In the Northman’s Land” (London 1896): Om Eide/Granvin: There is very fair salmon and trout fishing, and, when the river is not let, the guests at the hotel can try their luck, though, owing to the numerous salmon traps, the chances are against the angler taking any large salmon, but, still, the sea-trout are not to be despised.. Om Eidfjord: ..This, then, is the time for the sportsman, who, with a boatman af any intelligence and with the proper minnows, should manage to kill a goodly number of sea-trout in the afternoon. .. Apart from salmon fishing, I know of no greater excitement (in a mild way) than to try conclusions with a heavy sea-trout and a light rod. Tiltak for å betre sjøaureproduksjonen i 28 vassdrag Rådgivende Biologer rapport 1781 - 2013 “Forslag til tiltak for sjøaure i utvalgte vassdrag ved Hardangerfjorden” ✓ I 2012 og 2013 vart 28 anadrome vassdrag i 8 kommunar langs Hardangerfjorden undersøkt med fokus på inngrep og status av sjøaurehabitat. ✓ Inngrepa vart vurdert etter vannforskrifta. ✓ 104 km vassdrag er undersøkt langs Hardangerfjorden for å kartlegge inngrep og status i leveområde for sjøaure. ✓ Resultatet er ei liste med rundt 90 tiltak for å betre produksjonen av sjøaure langs fjorden.

  • Minerals of the Axinite Group from Norwegian Localities
    Minerals of the axinite group from Norwegian localities Fred Steinar Nordrum, Alf Olav Larsen og Muriel Erambert Introduction The mineral known today as axinite was first described by Schreiber in 1781, but thought to be a variety of schorl. During the next two decades the mineral was referred to under different names: violet schorl, yanolite, thumerstein, thumite and glasschorl. The name axinite was first applied by Hauy in 1799, in reference to the common axe-like shape of the crystals. The axinite group minerals are complex cyclosilicates. The three Ca-dominant end-members are ferroaxinite, manganaxinite and magnesia-axinite, named after the second most abundant cations, and with the general formula Ca4(Fe,Mn,Mg),AI4B2Sia030(OH),. Tinzenite has a Ca deficiency, compensated by an excess of Mn, and with the formula Ca2Mn.A14B2Sia030(OH),. The definition of ferroaxinite, manganaxinite and tinzenite was established by Sanero & Gollardi (1968), while magnesio-axinite was described by Jobbins et al. (1975). Axinite from Norway was first described by Schumacher (1801) who reported the mineral both from the silver deposits at Kongsberg and from Torbjlilrnsbo iron mine at Arendal. Keilhau (1838) mentioned axinite from Nikkerud iron mine near Drammen. Goldschmidt (1911) thoroughly described axinite from Arvoll near Oslo, and his chemical analysis showed that the mineral was close to the manganaxinite end member. He also mentioned another axinite locality at Arvoll, as well as Nikkerud (Aserud) near Drammen. Munster (1883) mentioned axinite from the Kongsberg silver deposits, while Neumann (1944) described axinite from several localities within the Kongsberg silver deposits, and published the chemical composition of an axinite from Golles Hulfe in der Noth mine (358 m level).

  • Uttale Om Oppdrettsanlegg I Samlafjorden Ved Eide Fjordbruk Ved Mælen I Ullensvang Kommune Og Lingalaks Ved Kvamsøy I Kvam Herad
    Til: Kvam herad og Ullensvang kommune Øystese, 27.04.21 Frå: Naturvernforbundet Hordaland Naturvernforbundet i Kvam Kopi til: Vestland fylkeskommune, Statsforvaltaren i Vestland og Mattilsynet Uttale om oppdrettsanlegg i Samlafjorden ved Eide fjordbruk ved Mælen i Ullensvang kommune og Lingalaks ved Kvamsøy i Kvam herad Naturvernforbundet i Kvam og Naturvernforbundet Hordaland skriv ein samla uttale til dei to søkjarane som vil ta i bruk to område som ligg svært nær kvarandre i Samlafjorden. Fyrst skriv me ei vurdering av begge planane samla. Lengre ute i uttalen tek me for oss kvar søknad. Innleiing Fjordlandskapet i Hardanger er rekna som noko av det vakraste og mest karakteristiske i verda. Samlafjorden der fjorden opnar seg med Samlanuten på sørsida og Kvamsøy på nordsida, skapar eit unikt landskapsbilete. Alt i 1998 vart dette poengtert av Miljøverndepartementet i vedtaket som stoppa planane for Nord-Europas største pukkverk ved Hereiane: «Fjordlandskapet i Hardanger vurderes både av Riksantikvaren og Direktoratet for naturforvaltning, som et av de høyest verdsatte landskapene vi har i Norge… Norge har et nasjonalt ansvar for å forvalte dette slik at verdiene knyttet til naturen, landskapet og kulturmiljøet ivaretas» Samlanuten / Samlen Hereiane Kvamsøy Samlafjorden sett frå Øystese ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Adresse: Bredsgården 1E, 5003 Bergen – Telefon: +47 55 30 06 60 E-post: [email protected] – Internett: www.naturvernforbundet.no/hordaland Samlen og Hereina er begge sentrale landemerke i Samlafjorden og har mange geologiske fellestrekk. I 2002 vart Hereiane valt til tusenårsstaden i Jondal kommune. Desse vurderingane vert det også lagt vekt på i den regionale kystsoneplanen for Sunnhordland og Hardangerfjorden som vart vedteken i Fylkestinget i oktober 2017 og i 2020 av Kommunal- og Moderniseringsdepartementet.
