Integrating Modelling and Remote Sensing for Algae Bloom Monitoring in Norwegian Waters, Dr.gr.stip.

Currently major defficiencies exist in our ability to understand and describe algal bloom events and their influence on the environment. In this project we will contribute in: 1) defining the environmental conditions that lead to bloom of the harmful alga Chattonella, which has been a threath f...

Carotenoids and reproductive performance in fish: gobies as a model system, Dr.gr.stip. og utenlandsstipend til Skottland

Prosjektsammendrag: This project investigates the role of carotenoids in the development of fish eggs and larvae. The eggs of many fishes are yellow-orange, due to the presence of carotenoid pigments. Such pigments cannot be synthesised de novo by the fish, but stem from the natural food of the ...

LLNW: Physics/Biology Based Approach to Satellite Monitoring of Primary Production and Algae Blooms, Dr.gr.stip.

Project summary: In Norway's vast territorial economic zone, commercial fisheries and aqua-culture industry contribute substantially to the nation's export. But in recent years the aqua-culture industry has suffered major economic losses due to toxic algal blooms. Also in the development of tour...

Proteome ecotoxicology - a new strategy for developing biomarker tests for environmental monitoring, Postdr.stip.og utenlstip. til Danmark

Prosjektsammendrag: Inducible genes make attractive candidates for biomarkers, i.e. molecular and cellular responses to chemical exposure indicating adverse effects to organisms. The proteome represents the functional genome of a cell, i.e. that part of the genome expressed as proteins under a ce...

Exploitation of zooplankton as bio-resource for fish feed and industrial raw material - A complete value chain evalution.

There is a growing demand for marine bio-resources, and the salmon industry is already preparing for temporary limitations in resources for fish feed in the coming decade. Significantly higher quantities of bio-resources are available only if some harvest ing is done at grazer or plants levels. T...

Telleprogram for beregning av tallrikhet av vågehval i det nordøstlige Atlanterhavet

Norske myndigheter baserer forvaltningen av vågehval på den Reviderte forvaltningsprosedyren (RMP) som er utviklet av Hvalfangstkommisjonens Vitenskapskomitè. Denne prosedyren krever at tallrikhetsestimater foreligger minst hvert sjette år. Det foreliggen de estimatet refererer seg til 1989, og e...
