Hydrography and food distribution during a tidal cycle above a cold-water coral mound
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Cold-water corals (CWCs) are important ecosystem engineers in the deep sea that provide habitat for numerous species and can form large coral mounds. These mounds influence surrounding currents and induce distinct hy- ... -
Hydroponic Lettuce Cultivation Using Organic Nutrient Solution from Aerobic Digested Aquacultural Sludge
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The aim of this study was to demonstrate how aquacultural sludge can be processed and utilized as an organic nutrient solution (ONS) for hydroponic lettuce production. By using a previous developed method, approximately ... -
Identifying protists along the Agder coastline using Illumina sequencing
(Master thesis, 2022)Environmental quality, sustainability and functioning of marine ecosystems are closely linked to species richness and diversity. Microalgae play key roles in coastal ecosystems contributing significantly to carbon flux ... -
Impact of harvesting cleaner fish for salmonid aquaculture assessed from replicated coastal marine protected areas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017) -
Impacts of ghost fishing on European lobster (Homarus gammarus) and brown crab (Cancer pagurus) in Raet national park, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Lost fishing gear pose a threat to marine life in large parts of the world. Fishing gear have the potential to continue to fish for a long time after it has been lost, referred to as “ghost fishing”, an issue which has ... -
Implications of fisheries-induced evolution for population recovery: Refocusing the science and refining its communication
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Improving risk assessments in conservation ecology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019) -
Improving scientific rigour in conservation evaluations and a plea deal for transparency on potential biases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
In deep water: Long-term trends in demersal fish diversity in Skagerrak and the Norwegian trench
(Master thesis, 2023)Throughout history, human activities have had profound impacts on marine ecosystems, with clear evidence of these consequences observable in the Skagerrak region. Oceans have historically been a critical resource for ... -
Incidence of persistent contaminants through blue mussels biomonitoring from Flekkefjord fjord and their relevance to food safety
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Dredging activities can lead to the re-suspension of contaminated sediments, resulting in a potential hazard for the whole ecosystem and also for human health. Six-month active biomonitoring was performed in order to monitor ... -
Incorporating intra-annual variability in fisheries abundance data to better capture population dynamics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To reduce the risk of overexploitation and the ensuing conservation and socio-economic consequences, fisheries management relies on receiving accurate scientific advice from stock assessments. Biomass dynamics models used ... -
Individual habitat transitions of Atlantic herring Clupea harengus in a human-modified coastal system.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Pelagic marine fish often display highly dynamic migration patterns. However, such movement behaviour is usually studied at the population or school level, while less is known about individual movement characteristics and ... -
Inference of potential genetic risks associated with large-scale releases of red sea bream in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since 1978, millions of hatchery-reared red sea bream (Pagrus major) juveniles have been released in Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The stock enhancement program has contributed to total catch; ... -
Inferring genetic connectivity in real populations, exemplified by coastal and oceanic Atlantic cod
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Inferring individual fate from aquatic acoustic telemetry data

Influence of larval transport and temperature on recruitment dynamics of North Sea cod (Gadus morhua) across spatial scales of observation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, ... -
Influence of Riverine Input on Norwegian Coastal Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Coastal ecosystems are of high ecological and socioeconomic importance and are strongly influenced by processes from land, sea, and human activities. In this study, we present physical, chemical, and biological observations ... -
Insights into the Chemistry of Adsorption of Water Molecules by Cyclodextrins as Studied by Near Infrared Spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015) -
Integral functions of marine vertebrates in the ocean carbon cycle and climate change mitigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In the last decade, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of the Earth’s greenhouse gas emissions through the carbon (C) cycle, a naturally occurring process. Aspects of the ocean C cycle are now being incorporated into climate ...
