HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

In situ swimming and orientation ability of larval cod and other plankton. Parameterizing models of prey availability to top predators

Fiskelarvetransport med havstrømmer fra gyteområder til oppvekstområder er en nøkkelprosess som må adresseres dersom man skal kunne kvantifisere romligtemporær tilgjengelighet for topp-predatorer. Imidlertid er ikke larver fullstendig prisgitt de rådende strømforhold. De kan påvirke spredningen ...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

36th Annual Larval Fish Conference

The early life stages of fishes are a principal focus of many ecological studies and have been a focus of Norwegian marine science for over 100 years. Their distributions and densities are indicative of spawning and nursery areas, spawning seasons, larval behaviour, and year-class strength. Even...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Bilat - Changes in the Calanus complex on both sides of the Atlantic and its possible impact on fish populations

A 10 degree latitude northward shift in the characteristic copepod populations of temperate oceans has been observed over the past several decades, seemingly in association with global warming effects on ocean water temperature. This has moved the Subarct ic and Cold Temperate copepod species int...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Cascading effects of climate change and UV envirotoxins on the nutritional quality of the food base in marine ecosystems

With the current focus on ecosystem-based approaches to the management of marine resources establishing the effects of various environmental variables on the flow of energy through marine ecosystems is essential, and strongly prioritized. The research pro posed here uses two variables (temperatur...

HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

The sensory biology of host detection in the parasitic salmon louse: electrophysiological and behavioura linvestigations

We propose to extend our previous work on the chemical and visual cues underlying host location by the salmon louse by 1. determining the threshold responses required for chemical signals to induce oriented movement towards a point (e.g. a fish) 2.determine the threshold levels necessary to elici...

HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

The role of olfactory stimuli in the foraging and prey search behaviour of marine fish larvae

The overall goal of the research proposed here is to evaluate specific substances that kan be used to motivate feeding responses and consumption/retention of microencapsulated formulated feeds by marine fish larvae. Specifically, we propose to: 1. Make el ectro-olfactogram (EOG) recordings in ord...

BIOT2000-Bioteknologi 2000

Effects of environmental stress on the development of the immune system, growth and survival in the early life stages of wild salmon

Project summary Recent studies demonstrate disturbed immunological responses in fishes exposed to environmental stressors, including solar ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that the immune system, growth and survival of fishes is significantly impact...

HAVBRUK-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Larval Fish Conference

A deep and thorough understanding of the biology and ecology of fish early life stages is central to the management of fish as a renewable resource. For most species, the larvae and early juveniles represent life intervals that are ecologically distinct f rom each other and from their later juven...
