Contrasting neurochemical and behavioral profiles reflects stress coping styles but not stress responsiveness in farmed gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In fish, as well as in other vertebrates, contrasting suites of physiological and behavioral traits, or coping styles, are often shown in response to stressors. However, the magnitude of the response (i.e. stress responsiveness) ... -
A contrastive learning approach for individual re-identification in a wild fish population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In both terrestrial and marine ecology, physical tagging is a frequently used method to study population dynamics and behavior. However, such tagging techniques are increasingly being replaced by individual re-identification ... -
Copepods dominate the mesozooplankton spring-summer community in a South Norwegian fjord
(Master thesis, 2021)In this study the seasonality of the mesozooplankton community in spring and summer of 2019 at Midtfjordsskjær (MFS), South Norway, was investigated. Zooplankton samples were collected using a fine mesh sized plankton ... -
Coping styles in farmed fish: consequences for aquaculture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Individual differences in physiological and behavioural responses to stressors are increasingly recognised as adaptive variation and thus raw material for evolution and fish farming improvements including selective breeding. ... -
Correlation between body size and longevity: New analysis and data covering six taxonomic classes of vertebrates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Large bodied species are known to live longer than small bodied species. However, it is less clear whether the positive correlation varies across taxa. In this short communication, we combine data entries from literature ... -
Daily energy expenditure through the human life course
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
Dataset from a mesocosm experiment on brownification in the Baltic Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is projected to cause brownification of some coastal seas due to increased runoff of terrestrially derived organic matter. We carried out a mesocosm experiment over 15 days to test the effect of this on the ... -
Demographic history has shaped the strongly differentiated corkwing wrasse populations in Northern Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019) -
Demographic responses to protection from harvesting in a long-lived marine species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Marine protected areas (MPAs) are usually considered to have positive effects on the recovery of over-exploited populations. However, resolving the extent to which MPAs function according to their conservation goals ... -
Density‑dependent winter survival of immatures in an irruptive raptor with pulsed breeding
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Highly mobile predators can show strong numerical responses to pulsed resources, sometimes resulting in irruptions where large numbers of young invade landscapes at a continental scale. High production of young in irruption ... -
Depletion of coastal predatory fish sub-stocks coincided with the largest sea urchin grazing event observed in the NE Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Desiccant Properties Comparison of Natural Bio-polymers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background and Objective: Desiccants are substances used in the dehumidification process which is vital in order to avoid the degradation of materials. Silica gel is the most prominent type of desiccant used and today the ... -
Designing a species-specific method, based on analysis of eDNA, for detection of lesser weever fish, and testing it at chosen locations along the coastline of Agder, Southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Temperature is largely influencing species dispersion, and when the temperature conditions within an area are changing, species populations often respond by moving to other, more suitable areas. Such behavior has often ... -
Detection and Analysis of Microplastics in Boat Marina and Eelgrass Bed on the Southern Coast of Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Microplastics are widely distributed around the world and are emerging as one of the most serious environmental problems worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the presence and sources of microplastics by human activities ... -
Determination Of Kinetic Parameters For The Thermally Induced Isomerization Of Methyl Linolenate

Differential reproductive plasticity under thermal variability in a freshwater fish (Danio rerio)

Digital Data Help Explain Drivers of Angler Satisfaction : An Example from Southern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We analyzed trip-level self-reports collected by a cell phone app to understand angler satisfaction of fishing for sea trout Salmo trutta (anadromous Brown Trout) in southern Norway. We found no clear support for a positive ...
