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 ... -
The acoustic repertoire of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and the effect of feeding on broadband clicks and their sound characteristics
(Master thesis, 2023)Populations of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) along the Skagerrak coast remain below viable levels today despite various implemented management strategies aimed at their recovery. Augmented management approaches are needed ... -
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 ... -
The life-saving effect of biodegradable cotton thread in lost fishing traps: from a cleanup-project in Raet National Park, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)The fishing gear used today is primarily made of synthetic materials, which gives the gear a long breakdown time. This means that Abandoned, Lost, and Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) can continue fishing for a long time in ... -
The use of bioacoustics to assess the impact of environmental parameters on male pool frog (Phelophylax lessonae) call characteristics
(Master thesis, 2022)The purpose of this investigation was to use current methods of bioacoustic analysis to determine whether the environmental parameters of water temperature and background noise significantly affect the characteristics of ... -
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 ... -
Trying to Find a Correlation Between Spawning- and Nursery Grounds in Different Regions of Norway.

Visual fish assemblage inventory of outer Oslo fjord, with special emphasis on young-of-the-year Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Master thesis, 2021)The coastal zone along the outer Oslofjord is physically unique and home to many ecologically depleted and economically important species, including Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Coastal cod in Skagerrak is divided into two ...
