Linking physics and biology - Structuring of cod-populations in the North Sea/Skagerrak water-system

We propose to study the physical and biological mechanisms that generate and maintain a highly genetically structured population of cod in the Skagerrak water system. We hypothesize that a combination of oceanographic features (i.e., within fjords water c irculation), spawning behavior (i.e. stro...

Ultra-high throughput sequencing national platform

Recent technological breakthroughs making possible low cost ultra-high throughput gene sequencing open up a new era within biology. It is now possible to sequence a bacterial genome in less than a week, a human chromosome in 3-4 weeks or generate million s of metagenomic sequences in days. While...

NA - Effects of snow conditions on the predator-prey interaction between hare and lynx

It is believed that snow conditions influence the predator-prey interaction between hare and lynx, but empirical evidence is needed to confirm this assumption. Two very promising data sources are already available. First, the 10-year dataset consisting of snow-tracking records of predators from ...

NA - Recruitment dynamics of the herring stocks in the western North Pacific and Norwegian Sea

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) and Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi) are closely related but biologically distinct species, residing mainly in the Northern parts of the two oceans. Both species are pelagic plankton-feeders and contain both migratory as well as quite stationary stocks. Many st...

Fishery-induced changes in vital components of a large pike (Esox lucius) population

To reduce the impact of human activities on ecosystems is a major challenge of the next decades. Worldwide, overfishing depletes numerous fish stocks, threatening fisheries economy, biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. However, developing susta inable fishery policies necessitates a th...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Long-term Effects of Oil accidents on the pelagic ecosystem of the Norwegian and Barents Seas

The Barents Sea-Norwegian Sea are used for oil production and thus susceptible to oil accident. This calls for providing an improved understanding of long-term impacts of oil accident on this pelagic ecosystem. The Barents Sea-Norwegian Sea ecosystem is c haracterized by strong interactions among...

MPAs in coastal Skagerrak: a model system for understanding lobster demography and successful introduction of MPAs in temperate waters.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a promising tool for preventing overexploitation of marine biological resources. However, there are still few MPAs in temperate waters. Recently, the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries has encouraged the establishment of MPAs in Skagerrak. A working group at the ...

Dynamics and genetics of oceanic - coastal cod population complexes

The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a highly mobile species found in an open, marine habitat with no obvious dispersal barriers. Despite this fact, our recent population genetics work has shown that coastal Skagerrak cod is structured into local population s. This observation has opened a whole ne...

Conflicts of interests between signalers or between signalers and signal receivers are common in animals, and may lead to coevolutionary arms races. Natural selection favours victim adaptations that help victims resist exploiters, but such adaptations are likely to be met with counter-adaptation...
