Faunal Colonization of Submarine Mine Tailings: An Intertidal Experiment to Investigate the Infuence of Sediment Organic Carbon Content
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Current financial estimates of mineral mining in Norway are approximately 12 billion NOK per year. Most of the industry is located close to the coastline and the inert waste produced ( tailings', granulometrically similar ... -
Faunal trophic structure at hydrothermal vents on the southern Mohn's Ridge, Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We explore the trophic ecology of heterotrophic fauna associated with a high temperature (HT) vent, 2 low temperature vents, a ‘near-HT vent’ habitat and a non-vent site situated at upper bathyal depths on the southern ... -
Fe(II) stability in coastal seawater during experiments in Patagonia, Svalbard, and Gran Canaria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-03)The speciation of dissolved iron (DFe) in the ocean is widely assumed to consist almost exclusively of Fe(III)-ligand complexes. Yet in most aqueous environments a poorly defined fraction of DFe also exists as Fe(II), the ... -
Feeding behavior and bioenergetic balance of the great scallop (Pecten maximus) and the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) in a low seston environment and relevance to suspended shellfish aquaculture.
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-11-20)The length of the rugged Norwegian coastal line including all islands exceeds the circumference of the earth, and the coastal zone contains many sheltered areas that are potentially suitable for bivalve farming. However, ... -
Feeding ecology of Benthosema glaciale across the North Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-16)The glacier lanternfish Benthosema glaciale is a key myctophid with a wide distribution in the northern Atlantic. It is a species that has a strong vertical migration capacity and have the potential to move between the ... -
Feeding ecology of Coryphaenoides rupestris from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-03)The Macrourid fish roundnose grenadier, Coryphaenoides rupestris, is one of the most common benthopelagic fishes on the northern mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ecology of the species is comparatively well studied in continental ... -
Feeding Hotspots and Distribution of Fin and Humpback Whales in the Norwegian Sea From 2013 to 2018
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are commonly found in the Norwegian Sea during the summer months. Records from around 1995 to 2004 show that their distribution patterns were ... -
Feeding response and growth performance of Atlantic halibut fed diets with varying macronutrient levels
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus, is a highly valued and well-established fish species that has gotten its reputation from being a high-end product from the fishery industry. Because of halibut overfishing and ... -
Feeding response to fish feed diets in Ciona intestinalis; implications for IMTA
(Master thesis, 2016-05-20)Norway is the largest salmon producer in the world. The associated discharge with continued growth from salmon production has vitalised interest in developing integrated multi trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in order to mitigate ... -
Feltoppfølging av rognkjeks vaksinert mot Aeromonas salmonicida A-lagstype V og VI
(Master thesis, 2017-06-16)Efficient sea-lice control is still one of the most important challenges for the salmon farming industry, and use of cleaner fish as biological delousing has increased considerably in recent years. Mortality of lumpsucker ... -
Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov., a Novel Feather-Degrading Anaerobic Thermophile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov. strain T was isolated from a terrestrial, high-altitude hot spring in Tajikistan. This strain is an obligate anaerobic rod and their cells occur singly, in ... -
FGF signaling acts on different levels of mesoderm development within Spiralia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)FGF signaling is involved in mesoderm induction in members of deuterostomes (e.g. tunicates, hemichordates), but not in flies and nematodes, in which it has a role in mesoderm patterning and migration. However, we need ... -
Field studies on the abundance, growth and biofouling of the harvestable red alga Vertebrata lanosa (Linnaeus) T.A.Christensen
(Master thesis, 2018-08-10)Macroalgae have an important ecological role as primary producers and habitat engineers for fauna in coastal areas, and many species can also be used for human consumption. Like vegetables, macroalgae contain essential ... -
Fifteen emerging challenges and opportunities for vegetation science: a horizon scan by early-career researchers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)With the aim to identify future challenges and opportunities in vegetation science, we brought together a group of 22 early career vegetation scientists from diverse backgrounds to perform a horizon scan. In this contribution, ... -
Finding a Needle in the Virus Metagenome Haystack - Micro-Metagenome Analysis Captures a Snapshot of the Diversity of a Bacteriophage Armoire
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-11)Viruses are ubiquitous in the oceans and critical components of marine microbial communities, regulating nutrient transfer to higher trophic levels or to the dissolved organic pool through lysis of host cells. Hydrothermal ... -
Finding the Balance between Research and Monitoring: When Are Methods Good Enough to Understand Plastic Pollution?
