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...

Surviving without oxygen - from heart function to DNA replication

While most vertebrates die within minutes of anoxia (no oxygen), a few species can tolerate anoxia about 1000 times longer. These include the crucian carp (Carassius carassius, No: karuss), a common fish in Norway, and some turtles. Anoxia and ischemia related diseases are the major killers in ...

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...
