• Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea 

      Aarflot, Johanna Myrseth; Skjoldal, Hein Rune; Dalpadado, Padmini; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)
      Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ...
    • Foraging success in planktivorous fish increases with topographic blockage of prey distributions 

      Aarflot, Johanna Myrseth; Dalpadado, Padmini; Fiksen, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Banks and shelves are productive zones of the ocean, and often home to large fish stocks. Can shallower bottom topographies improve foraging opportunities for pelagic fish by blocking zooplankton from hiding in deep, darker ...
    • Productivity in the Barents Sea - Response to recent climate variability 

      Dalpadado, Padmini; Arrigo, Kevin R.; Hjøllo, Solfrid Sætre; Rey, Francisco; Ingvaldsen, Randi; Sperfeld, Erik; van Dijken, Gert L.; Stige, Leif Christian; Olsen, Are; Ottersen, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-01)
      The temporal and spatial dynamics of primary and secondary biomass/production in the Barents Sea since the late 1990s are examined using remote sensing data, observations and a coupled physical-biological model. Field ...
