      Underwood, Melanie; García-Seoane, Eva; Klevjer, Thor A.; Macaulay, Gavin; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
    • Can mesopelagic mixed layers be used as feed source for salmon aquaculture ? 

      Olsen, Rolf Erik; Strand, Espen; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Nørstebø, Jo Trelvik; Lall, Santosh P.; Tocher, Douglas R.; Sprague, Matthew (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Salmon aquaculture is in great need of good quality balanced protein and lipid sources, particularly marine omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), to sustain a further development of the industry. ...
    • Ecological insights into abyssal bentho-pelagic fish at 4000 m depth using a multi-beam echosounder on a remotely operated vehicle 

      Dunlop, Katherine Mary; Benoit-Bird, Kelly J; Waluk, Chad M; Henthorn, Richard G (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Ecological and behavioral data on mobile, low density, benthopelagic animals is difficult to collect in the abyssal environment. However, these species occupy an important position in the abyssal food chain. At-depth ...
    • Ecology of mesozooplankton across four North Atlantic basins 

      Strand, Espen; Klevjer, Thor A.; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Knutsen, Tor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      A comparative study of the mesozooplankton in four North Atlantic basins is presented. During a trans-Atlantic expedition with R/V G.O. Sars in May and June 2013, the Norwegian Sea, Iceland Sea, Irminger Sea and Labrador ...
    • First description of a Lophelia pertusa reef complex in Atlantic Canada 

      Buhl-Mortensen, Pål; Gordon Jr., Don C.; Buhl-Mortensen, Lene; Kulka, Dave W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      For the first time, we describe a cold-water coral reef complex in Atlantic Canada, discovered at the shelf break, in the mouth of the Laurentian Channel. The study is based on underwater video and sidescan sonar. The reef ...

    • Structure and functioning of four North Atlantic ecosystems - A comparative study 

      Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Klevjer, Thor A.; Drinkwater, Kenneth F.; Strand, Espen; Naustvoll, Lars Johan; Wiebe, Peter H.; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Knutsen, Tor; Sundby, Svein; Slotte, Aril; Dupont, Nicolas; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Korneliussen, Rolf; Huse, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The epi- and mesopelagic ecosystems of four sub-polar ocean basins, the Labrador, Irminger, Iceland and Norwegian seas, were surveyed during two legs from Bergen, Norway, to Nuuk, Greenland, and back to Bergen. The survey ...
    • Vertical distribution and migration of mesopelagic scatterers in four north Atlantic basins 

      Klevjer, Thor A.; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Knutsen, Tor; Aksnes, Dag Lorents (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      We studied vertical distribution and diel vertical migration (DVM) behaviour of mesopelagic acoustic scattering layers in relation to environmental conditions in the Norwegian Sea, the Iceland Sea, the Irminger Sea, and ...
