THE VALUE OF AN EGG: TOWARDS OPERATIONAL MODELS OF FISH EGGS AND LARVAE ALONG THE NORWEGIAN COAST

ENDRING I GYTEVANDRING OG EFFEKTER AV FISKE Vi vet at den Nordøstarktiske torsken ikke lenger gyter like langt sør på norskekysten som den engang gjorde. Historiske fiskeridata viser at det i mellomkrigsårene ble fanget betydelige mengder Nordøstarktisk torsk i flere fylker sør for Møre, mens de...

ALIEN OYSTER - distribution, population development and effects of the invasive Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in the Skagerrak

Stillehavsøsters har siden den første gang ble observert i Oslofjorden i 2005 hatt en stor økning i utbredelse, og er i prosjektet funnet på 260 lokaliteter i fjorden. Arten har et svært stort spredningspotensiale siden den blir kjønnsmoden som ettåring, kan leve i mer enn 20 år, og fordi hver e...

Workshop on Management Implications of Fisheries-induced Evolution

Selective fishing will over time lead to evolution in exploited fish stocks. Research during last years has suggested that such evolution can proceed relatively fast, with significant changes occurring over few decades. In some stocks, there are strong in dications that large changes have already...
