1H NMR metabolic profiling of cod (Gadus morhua) larvae: potential effects of temperature and diet composition during early developmental stages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Marine aquaculture offers a great source of protein for the increasing human population, and farming of, for example, Atlantic salmon is a global industry. Atlantic cod farming however, is an example of a promising industry ... -

A 24,000-year ancient DNA and pollen record from the Polar Urals reveals temporal dynamics of arctic and boreal plant communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A 24,000-year record of plant community dynamics, based on pollen and ancient DNA from the sediments (sedaDNA) of Lake Bolshoye Shchuchye in the Polar Ural Mountains, provides detailed information on the flora of the Last ... -
30,000 years of landscape and vegetation dynamics in a mid-elevation Andean valley
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The mid-elevation settings of the Andes are important biodiversity hotspots, yet little is known of their long-term ecology or environmental change. Here, we assess 30,000 years of landscape and vegetation dynamics on an ... -
The 474-Kilobase-Pair Complete Genome Sequence of CeV-01B, a Virus Infecting Haptolina (Chrysochromulina) ericina(Prymnesiophyceae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12-03)We report the complete genome sequence of CeV-01B, a large double-stranded DNA virus infecting the unicellular marine phytoplankton Haptolina (formerly Chrysochromulina) ericina. CeV-01B and its closest relative Phaeocystis ... -
A comparison of egg investment in lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus) from urban and non-urban colonies
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)While the increasing worldwide urbanization generally has negative effects on biodiversity, some animals, like roof nesting gulls, are able to take advantage of these areas and have generated large populations in a number ... -
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 ... -
A descriptive analysis of data from the Norwegian Coastal Reference Fleet and comparison with catch-per-unit-effort data from research surveys
(Master thesis, 2021-03-22)Catch quotas are used for the sustainable management of fish stocks and are based on official catch statistics and research surveys. However, these methods provide only partial information, as the official catch data does, ... -
A faunistic study of the amphipod-fauna of Hjeltefjord, West-Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)Amphipods are a large and highly diverse order of benthic invertebrates. Their great variety in habitat selection, morphology, geographical range and feeding strategies makes them an important ecological group in marine ... -
A Field Study on the Effects of Norwegian Aquaculture Farms on the Intertidal Rocky Shore Community
(Master thesis, 2021-09-13)The aquaculture industry has more than doubled since the early 2000s, and the growth is not predicted to stagnate any time soon. Norwegian salmonid aquaculture cages are usually open where waste is flushed from the cage ... -
A pilot study of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) skin health, reared with three different treatments in land-based facilities and commercial net-pens
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Biological delousing by the means of deploying cleanerfish is one of the methods applied in Atlantic salmon aquaculture to combat the sea lice (lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation problem. The method is based on the natural ... -
A study of two morphotypes of the brown algae Fucus serratus (Linnaeus) at Tjongspollen, Bømlo, Norway
(Master thesis, 2019-07-04)Abstract The genus Fucus contains several key forming species occupying rocky shores in the Northern Hemisphere. Fucus is known to have a great capacity for phenotypic plasticity and ability to expand in to marginal habitats. ... -
Acacia trees on the cultural landscapes of the Red Sea Hills
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-18)This paper examines interactions between five pastoral nomadic culture groups of the Egyptian and Sudanese Red Sea Hills and the acacia trees Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne subsp. tortilis and subsp. raddiana growing in ... -
Accumulation and distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments from the inner Oslofjord, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Microplastic presence in benthic marine systems is a widely discussed topic. The influence of the natural matrix on microplastic distribution within the sedimentary matrix is often overlooked. Marine sediments from the ... -
Acoustic attenuation by air bubble in bad weather conditions; a comparison of hull- and keel-mounted transducers
(Master thesis, 2009-08-25)Echo integration in bad weather conditions is problematic due to vessel- and wind-induced air bubble layer that is formed below the hull of a vessel, where acoustic transducers are mounted. The bubbles below the hull ... -
Acoustic telemetry predation sensors reveal the tribulations of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts migrating through lakes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Smolt migration through lakes is hazardous, as the predation pressure can be extreme and the hydrology a great contrast to that of a riverine area. However, the mechanisms yielding these challenges have been scarcely ... -
