Marine ecosystem effects of eutrophication: Interactions between small pelagic fish and predators in low oxygen waters

The starting hypothesis for this proposal is that clupeid fish (Sprat) are more tolerant to low oxygen waters than their gadoid predators. Low oxygen waters (albeit above a critical level) thus represent a resource as a predatory refuge. This hypothesis w ill be addressed during winter in a fjord...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Assessing marine food chains using molecular probes

The project aims at developing molecular probes, and use these in assessments of marine food chains. Group-specific or species-specific probes will be developed, tested and validated, and used to detect the prey organisms for carnivorously feeding copepo ds. Pellets from freshly collected copepo...

Fish behaviour and implications for abundance estimates

Fish vertical distribution and individual swimming behaviour is essential for their acoustic detectability and properties. The project will address under which conditions semi-demersal fish live closely assocoated with the sediment and under which conditi ons they ascend into the water column, in...
