    • Protected areas buffer against harvest selection and rebuild phenotypic complexity 

      Fernández-Chacón, Albert; Villegas-Ríos, David; Moland, Even; Baskett, Marissa L.; Olsen, Esben Moland; Carlson, Stephanie M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Harvest mortality typically truncates the harvested species' size structure, thereby reducing phenotypic complexity, which can lead to reduced population productivity, increased population variability, and selection on an ...

      Thorbjørnsen, Susanna Huneide; Moland, Even; Huserbråten, Mats Brockstedt Olsen; Knutsen, Jan Atle; Knutsen, Halvor; Olsen, Esben Moland (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The European lobster Homarus gammarus is heavily exploited in the Norwegian fishery, and several management actions have been implemented to protect the species. Three marine protected areas (MPAs) excluding all but hook ...
    • Restoration of Abundance and Dynamics of Coastal Fish and Lobster Within Northern Marine Protected Areas Across Two Decades 

      Moland, Even; Fernández-Chacón, Albert; Sørdalen, Tonje Knutsen; Villegas-Rios, David; Thorbjørnsen, Susanna Huneide; Halvorsen, Kim Aleksander Tallaksen; Huserbråten, Mats Brockstedt Olsen; Olsen, Esben Moland; Kleiven, Portia Joy Nillos; Kleiven, Alf Ring; Knutsen, Halvor; Espeland, Sigurd Heiberg; Freitas, Carla; Knutsen, Jan Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      This article reviews a suite of studies conducted in a network of coastal Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Skagerrak, Southeast Norway. In 2006, Norway’s first lobster reserves were implemented, with the aim of protecting ...

      Freitas, Carla; Villegas-Ríos, David; Moland, Even; Olsen, Esben Moland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Understanding the responses of aquatic animals to temperature variability is essential to predict impacts of future climate change and to inform conservation and management. Most ectotherms such as fish are expected to ...
    • Seasonal Dynamics of Atlantic Herring (Clupea harengus L.) Populations Spawning in the Vicinity of Marginal Habitats 

      Eggers, Florian; Slotte, Aril; Libungan, Lisa Anne; Johannessen, Arne; Kvamme, Cecilie; Moland, Even; Olsen, Esben Moland; Nash, Richard D.M. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-05)
