    • Maturation in the Barents Sea capelin – Contrasting length- and gonad-based metrics 

      Jourdain, Natoya; Fuglebakk, Edvin; Subbey, Samuel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      It is assumed that maturation in the Barents Sea capelin is length-dependent, and that fish of at least 14 cm will potentially spawn. Current assessment and management models for the stock are based on this assumption of ...
    • A novel probabilistic survey method for at sea sampling in pelagic fisheries – the Norwegian catch sampling lottery
