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 ... -
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 ... -
Recolonization and recovery of an Arctic benthic community subject to mine-tailings deposits

Time trends of heavy metals and PAHs in blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and contamination of sediments in the Kristiansandfjord, Southern Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)The Kristiansandfjord in Southern Norway has been contaminated for several decades (Green et al., 1985; Berge et al., 2007; Øxnevad et al., 2021). In this study, contaminant concentration data from blue mussel and sediments ... -
The effect of removing a natural migration barrier on a previously isolated population of Brown trout (Salmon trutta L.) – Kvåsfossen, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2023)In the years of 1970s and 1980s acidic rain threatened coastal freshwater fish populations in European rivers. Several fish populations in western and southern Norway were particularly affected including the Norwegian brown ... -
Size selectivity of standardized lobster traps used in long-term monitoring and their ability to catch large European lobsters (Homarus gammarus).
(Master thesis, 2023)Harvesting the resources of the ocean has been an integral part of both human settlement and advancements for millennia. In later years, the effects of unsustainable harvesting have become clearer, and several management ... -
Prevalence of tick-borne encephalitis virus in questing Ixodes ricinus nymphs in southern Scandinavia and the possible influence of meteorological factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ixodes ricinus ticks are Scandinavia's main vector for tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), which infects many people annually. The aims of the present study were (i) to obtain information on the TBEV prevalence in ... -
Leading edge erosion of wind turbine blades: Effects of blade surface curvature on rain droplet impingement kinematics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The issue of leading edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades (WTBs) is a complex problem that reduces the aerodynamic efficiency of blades, and affects the overall cost of energy. Several research efforts are being made ... -
The interplay between terrestrial organic matter and benthic macrofauna: Framework, synthesis, and perspectives
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Ecosystems are shaped by physical, chemical, and biological drivers, which affect the quality and quantity of basal energy sources, with impacts that cascade to higher trophic levels. In coastal, shelf, and marine habitats, ... -
Understanding "Islandness"
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Islandness is a contested concept, not just between disciplines but also cultures, entangled with what islands, island studies, and island identity are understood to be. The purpose of this article is to explore some of ... -
Intensified forestry as a climate mitigation measure alters surface water quality in low intensity managed forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Climate change has led to a focus on forest management techniques to increase carbon (C) sequestration as a mitigation measure. Fertilisation and increased removal of biomass have been proposed. But these and other forest ... -
First record of the opal chimaera, Chimaera opalescens (Holocephali: Chimaeridae) and revision of the occurrence of the rabbitfish Chimaera monstrosa in the Azores waters
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The presence of the opal chimaera, Chimaera opalescens, is reported for the first time in the deep waters of the Azores, with the capture of four specimens by fishermen and the video recording of an additional five ... -
Accurate Wound and Lice Detection in Atlantic Salmon Fish Using a Convolutional Neural Network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The population living in the coastal region relies heavily on fish as a food source due to their vast availability and low cost. This need has given rise to fish farming. Fish farmers and the fishing industry face serious ... -
Marine heatwave impacts on newly-hatched planktonic larvae of an estuarine crab
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Climate change is imposing constant and more severe environmental challenges to coastal and marine species. Regional climate and species acclimation capacity determine the communities’ ecological response to stressors. ... -
Welfare effects of environmental hypercapnia quantified by indicators based on morphology and allostatic load in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Water supply is a limited resource in most salmon hatcheries, which is compensated by reduced water flow and oxygenation. However, reduced water exchange can lead to accumulation of CO2, resulting in environmental hypercapnia, ... -
Diversification and community assembly of the world’s largest tropical island
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Aim: The species diversity and endemism of tropical biotas are major contributors to global biodiversity, but the factors underlying the formation of these systems remain poorly understood. Location: The world's largest ... -
The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate reference genomes representing global biodiversity. These genomes provide unique ... -
Protection from fishing improves body growth of an exploited species
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Hunting and fishing are often size-selective, which favours slow body growth. In addition, fast growth rate has been shown to be positively correlated with behavioural traits that increase encounter rates and catchability ... -
Praksisstudienes omfang og organisering i bioingeniørutdanningen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Since 2005, scope and content of the biomedical laboratory scientist education have been defined by national guidelines to ensure equal final competence for all candidates. From 2019, a new regulation on national guidelines ...
