VANN: Mapping short and long term migration pattern of North Norwegian Atlantic salmon at sea

The marine phase is assumed to have the major influence on variations in population abundances of Atlantic salmon. However, compared to the freshwater phase, knowledge of marine life-history is scare and completely lacking for most populations. In recent years, important information regarding mar...

Developmental Biology of Dormancy Cycling

In perennial plants, like trees, the SAM is cycling between active and dormant states in synchrony with the season (Rinne et al. 2001; Rinne and van der Schoot 2003, 2004). The SD-induced development of dormancy and acclimation involves the obstruction of cellular contacts at the SAM, including ...

MPAs in coastal Skagerrak: a model system for understanding lobster demography and successful introduction of MPAs in temperate waters.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a promising tool for preventing overexploitation of marine biological resources. However, there are still few MPAs in temperate waters. Recently, the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries has encouraged the establishment of MPAs in Skagerrak. A working group at the ...
