• Effects of mortality changes on biomass and production in Calanus spp. populations 

      Skarðhamar, Jofrid; Reigstad, Marit; Carroll, JoLynn; Eiane, Ketil; Riser, Christian Wexels; Slagstad, Dag (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-04-28)
      Calanus species are the main link between primary producers and higher trophic-level organisms in the Barents Sea. The natural mortality rate is an essential parameter for determining the standing stock of Calanus, but it ...
    • Environmental influences on the recruitment process inferred from otolith stable isotopes in Merluccius merluccius off the Balearic Islands 

      Hidalgo, Manuel; Tomás, Javier; Høie, Hans; Morales-Nin, Beatriz; Ninnemann, Ulysses S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-13)
      Oxygen (δ18O) and carbon (δ13C) isotope ratios in sagittal otoliths were analysed in recruits and juveniles of European hake Merluccius merluccius L. caught in the northwest (Sóller, SO) and south (Cabrera, CA) of the ...
    • Environmental regulation of individual depth on a cod spawning ground 

      Meager, Justin J.; Skjæraasen, Jon Egil; Karlsen, Ørjan; Løkkeborg, Svein; Mayer, Ian; Michalsen, Kathrine; Nilsen, Trygve; Fernö, Anders (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12-13)
      Fine-scale characteristics of spawning grounds may provide the opportunity for cod Gadus morhua L. to regulate their external environment by adjusting their depth. Ultrasonic telemetry was used to study how the environment ...
    • Introducing Aquatic Biology 

      Kinne, Otto; Browman, Howard I.; Seaman, Matthias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-31)
      The Inter-Research Science Center (IR) journals Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS) and Aquatic Microbial Ecology (AME) have been receiving increasing numbers of high-quality manuscripts that are principally biological, ...
    • Monitoring marine populations and communities: methods dealing with imperfect detectability 

      Katsanevakis, Stelios; Smit, Anke Weber; Pipitone, Carlo; Leopold, Mardik; Cronin, Michelle; Scheidat, Meike; Doyle, Thomas K.; Buhl-Mortensen, Lene; Buhl-Mortensen, Pål; D'Anna, Giovanni; de Boois, Ingeborg; Dalpadado, Padmini; Damalas, Dimitrios; Fiorentino, Fabio; Garofalo, Germana; Giacalone, Vincenzo Maximiliano; Hawley, Kate; Issaris, Yiannis; Jansen, Jeroen; Rosten, Carolyn; Knittweis, Leyla; Kröncke, Ingrid; Mirto, Simone; Muxika, Iñigo; Reiss, Henning; Skjoldal, Hein Rune; Vöge, Sandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
    • Monitoring marine populations and communities: methods dealing with imperfect detectability 

      Katsanevakis, Stelios; Weber, Anke; Pipitone, Carlo; Leopold, Mardik; Cronin, Michelle; Scheidat, Meike; Doyle, Thomas K.; Buhl-Mortensen, Lene; Buhl-Mortensen, Pål; D’Anna, Giovanni; de Boois, I.J.; Dalpadado, Padmini; Damalas, Dimitrios; Fiorentino, Fabio; Garofalo, Germana; Giacalone, Vincenzo Maximiliano; Hawley, Kate; Issaris, Yiannis; Jansen, J.; Knight, Carolyn; Knittweis, Leyla; Kröncke, Ingrid; Mirto, Simone; Muxika, Iñigo; Reiss, Henning; Skjoldal, Hein Rune; Vöge, Sandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06-26)
      Effective monitoring of populations and communities is a prerequisite for ecosystembased management of marine areas. However, monitoring programs often neglect important sources of error and thus can lead to biased ...
    • Potential methodological influences on the determination of particle retention efficiency by suspension feeders: Mytilus edulis and ciona intestinalis 

      Cranford, Peter J.; Strohmeier, Tore; Filgueira, Ramón; Strand, Øivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The retention efficiency (RE) of suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs depends on particle size and is generally assumed to decline below a maximum retention of particles larger than 3 to 7 µm. Previous suggestions that the ...
    • Rapid respiratory responses of the deep-water sponge Geodia barretti exposed to suspended sediments 

      Tjensvoll, Ingrid; Kutti, Tina; Fosså, Jan Helge; Bannister, Raymond (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-09-04)
      Sponges often dominate deep-water benthic faunal communities and can comprise up to 90% of the benthic biomass. Due to the large amount of water that they filter daily, sponges are an important link between benthic and ...
    • Sexual and aggressive interactions in a mixed species group of lobsters Homarus gammarus and H. americanus 

      van der Meeren, Gro; Chandrapavan, Arani; Breithaupt, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-12)
      The introduction of non-native populations can have dramatic effects on the native fauna as a result of interbreeding and aggressive interference between closely related species. This study investigates if female European ...
    • Vertical distribution, behavior, chemical composition and metabolism of Stauroteuthis syrtensis (Octopoda: Cirrata) in the northwest Atlantic 

      Jacoby, Charles A.; Youngbluth, Marsh J.; Frost, Jessica R.; Flood, Per R.; Uiblein, Franz; Båmstedt, Ulf; Francesc, Pagès; Shale, David (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-03)
      The cirrate octopod Stauroteuthis syrtensis is a mesopelagic species commonly collected in the North Atlantic. Individuals were observed at depths >600 m and typically within 100 m of the bottom in three ~900 m deep canyons ...
