    • The record-warm Barents Sea and 0-group fish response to abnormal conditions 

      Eriksen, Elena; Bagøien, Espen; Strand, Espen; Primicerio, Raul; Prokhorova, Tatiana; Trofimov, Alexander; Prokopchuk, Irina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Barents Sea is a nursery area for many commercially and ecologically important fish stocks, and this whole region is presently subject to rapid climatic change from a cold period in the 1980s to a record warm period ...
    • Spatial distributions and seasonality of four Calanus species in the Northeast Atlantic 

      Strand, Espen; Bagøien, Espen; Edwards, Martin; Broms, Cecilie; Klevjer, Thor A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper analyses spatial and seasonal patterns for near-surface abundances of four Calanus species in the Northeast Atlantic based on monthly Continuous Plankton Recorder (CPR) Survey data collected during 2008–2016. ...

    • Transportation and predation control structures the distribution of a key calanoid in the Nordic Seas 

      Aarflot, Johanna Myrseth; Hjøllo, Solfrid Sætre; Strand, Espen; Skogen, Morten D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The largest Calanus species in the Nordic Seas is also the copepod for which we have the poorest knowledge. Recent studies have shown that C. hyperboreus is more likely of sub-Arctic rather than Arctic origins, and the ...
    • Vertical migration in adult Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 

      Strand, Espen; Huse, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-11-21)
      We investigate the trade-offs associated with vertical migration and swimming speed of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) using an adaptive individual-based model. Simulations with varying distribution and occurrence of prey, ...
