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, ... -
A deeper look; Does Heincke´s law apply to Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Barents Sea and what is the effect of eye size on prey encounter rate?
(Master thesis, 2019-05-28)The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is arguably one of the most valuable fish we have, and the Barents Sea stock, Northeast Arctic cod (NEAC), is the largest stock in the world. Despite the long history of fishing and the ... -
Diet variation in Barents Sea haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)
