(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus, Scombridae) represents an economically important target for the Norwegian pelagic fishing industry. Despite the commercial significance of NEA mackerel, little is known ... -
Escape- and diet-history among farmed Atlantic Salmon caught in Norwegian rivers and coast in the period 2011-2021
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Every year thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) escape from net pens in Norway, and introgression has been documented in two-thirds of the more than 200 wild populations investigated thus far. Farmed salmon ... -

Habitat variability and faunal zonation at the Ægir Ridge, a canyon-like structure in the deep Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Ægir Ridge System (ARS) is an ancient extinct spreading axis in the Nordic seas extending from the upper slope east of Iceland (∼550 m depth), as part of its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), to a depth of ∼3,800 m in the ... -
Biodiversity and spatial ecology of arctic sponge grounds in the Nordic Seas
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-17)Sponge grounds are biogenic habitats formed by large structure-forming sponges in the deep-sea. They are biodiversity hotspots because they provide associated fauna a place of refuge, additional substratum, foraging areas, ... -
The salmon louse larval black box: evaluating fecundity and enumerating planktonic stages with an aquaculture management perspective
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-17)Modern salmon aquaculture began in 1970 with the innovation of at-sea fish pens which precipitated a rapid growth in production. The expansion of the industry and increased number of farmed fish concentrated within the ... -
Dietary fatty acids and their ratio: impact on Atlantic salmon health, mineral status and intestinal lipid transport
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-30)The rapid growth of the aquaculture industry and the sharp decline of capture fisheries necessitates finding alternative sources for fish oil and fish meal in aquafeeds. However, the inclusion of VOs in aquafeed alters the ... -
Optimisation of dietary n-3 and n-6 fatty acids for a robust Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-28)An optimal diet for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) should promote a healthy fish that is robust to changes in its environmental conditions and can withstand the handling it will encounter under farming conditions, all while ... -
Estimating unreported catches in Norwegian fisheries
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-06-27)A discard ban for fish was introduced in Norway in 1987, which requires that all commercial catches must be landed and reported. In theory, this regulation creates a full record of total removals from all fisheries. However, ... -
