A Comparative Study of the Spawning Phenology of Cod (Gadus morhua), Saithe (Pollachius virens), and Haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus): a Geographical Perspective along the Norwegian Coast
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Reproductive traits are a fundamental aspect of an organism's life history and play a critical role in shaping population dynamics, as these traits can significantly influence offspring survival rates and, thereby, ... -
Distribution and feeding ecology of fin (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Norwegian Sea during the summers of 2013 to 2018
(Master thesis, 2019-06-14)This study aims at describing the current (2013 to 2018) summer distribution and feeding ecology of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Norwegian Sea. These waters function ... -
Distribution of marine, benthic, shell bearing gastropods along the Norwegian coast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Based on literature data and my extensive material from along the coast, the distribution of shell bearing marine, benthic gastropods known from Norwegian waters, is outlined. The geographic area covered goes down to c. ... -
Distribution of mesopelagic scattering layer (MSL) in relation to the physical environment in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Mesopelagic fish are considered a major group of fishes in the global oceans and are typically observed in the water as acoustic scattering layers. Their biomass has recently been suggested to be severely underestimated, ... -
Evidence for light-controlled migration amplitude of a sound scattering layer in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The oceanic sound scattering layer (SL) is an ubiquitous acoustic signature of mesopelagic fishes and invertebrates that are important food sources for the oceanic macrofauna and players in the biological carbon pump. We ... -
Organic carbon and mineral nutrient limitation of oxygen consumption, bacterial growth and efficiency in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-12)To evaluate the role of bacteria in the transformation of organic matter in subarctic waters, we investigated the effect of mineral nutrients (ammonia and phosphate) and organic carbon (glucose) enrichment on heterotrophic ... -
Parasites Found in Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) Caught in the Feeding Areas in the Norwegian Sea
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) is native to the North Pacific but has repeatedly been introduced to the North Atlantic by Russian researchers since 1956. This has resulted in the establishment of populations in ... -
Schooling dynamics of summertime migrating Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) in the Norwegian Sea using multibeam sonar
(Master thesis, 2013-05-31)Pelagic fish in the Norwegian Sea perform seasonal migrations from overwintering, via spawning, to feeding grounds. Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus) are highly migratory, fast- swimming, and an obligate ... -
Species composition, distribution and ecology of the demersal fish community along the Norwegian coast north of Stad under varying environmental conditions
(Master thesis, 2019-06-14)In the last decades, temperatures of the Atlantic current that enters the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) has been above the yearly average, with 2007 as the warmest registration on record (Skagseth 2012). The climatic ... -
Thyasira ockelmanni (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Veneroidea), A new species of Thyasiridae from the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)A new species of Thyasiridae, Thyasira ockelmanni n.sp. is described from the abyssal depths of the Norwegian Sea. The generic assignment is tentative and possible alternatives are discussed. The new species has some ...
