Biodiversity of marine benthos: perspective from a global change

The impacts of pronounced climate change are now apparent at various sites in the Subarctic and Arctic, and numerical simulation models converge on the prediction that future warming trends will be amplified at high northern latitudes. There is therefore an immediate and pressing need to develop ...

Prenatal stress in farmed salmon: Consequences for emotional and cognitive function in offspring

We have previously shown in farmed salmon that augmented levels of maternal cortisol exert detrimental impacts on the physiological and morphological development of offspring. Our results thus accentuate the importance of knowledge on how the maternal end ocrinological state during gametogenesis ...

Stunning and Killing of Decapods

The scientific information on welfare of decapods is scarce. The killing methods used has drawn public attention. In some countries the animals are protected by the law, so there is a discrepancy between law and practices. From its biology there is little evidence that decapods are able to feel ...

Microbiocidal coatings based on Sphagnum biopolymers for extending the shelf-life of fresh fish (184255)

At present only 1 in 3 temperate marine fish is sold to the consumer (mostly export) as high-quality, high-profit fresh fish. The rest is sold as lower-grade, lower-profit processed fish. If the shelf-life of fresh fish can be extended by only 20-30 % (2- 3 days) then the economic and social (in ...

Sustainable harvesting of marine resources: interactions between demographic, ecological and evolutionary effects of fishing

Fishing does not affect all fish equally. Evolutionary changes ensue whenever there are survival differences between genotypes. As fishing is often intensive, the resulting changes can be rapid. Recent work suggests that significant evolutionary changes i n maturation are common in the wild and h...

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...
