      Through the period of yolk sac absorption, halibut larvae were kept in plastic bags in plastic basins with flowthrough of deepwater. When maintaining sufficient flowthrough, in this period the temperature in the bags ...
    • Definition of the problem of estimating fish abundance over an area from acoustic line-transect measurements of density 

      Foote, Kenneth G.; Stefánsson, Gunnar (ICES CM Documents;1990/D:25, Working paper, 1990)
      The problem of acoustic abundance estimation is briefly reviewed. Under proper conditions, fish density can be measured with high accuracy along line transects. Observed variations in fish density consequently reflect ...

      Dickson, W.; Valdemarsen, John Willy (ICES CM Documents;1982/B:36, Working paper, 1982)
    • Demonstration of maternal effects of Atlantic cod: Combining the use of unique mesocosm and novel molecular techniques – A new EU-project 

      Svåsand, Terje; Ajiad, Adnan Mosa; Dahle, Geir; Jakobsen, Tore; Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd; Moksness, Erlend; Otterå, Håkon; Solemdal, Per; Thorsen, Anders (ICES CM documents, Working paper, 2000)
      One of the effects of fishing is a reduction in average age and size in exploited fish stocks, leading to an increasing proportion of recruit spawners in the stock. Current management practice assumes equal viability of ...
    • Density dependent catchability in bottom trawl surveys 

      Aglen, Asgeir; Engås, Arill; Godø, Olav Rune; McCallum, Barry R.; Stansbury, Don; Walsh, Stephen J. (ICES CM Documents;1997/W:16, Working paper, 1997)
      Fish form schools, layer or patches in which the individual fish's behaviour is not independent of its neighbours movements. On the other hand, at low densities fish may have the freedom to act as single individuals ...
    • Density driven currents in the Barents Sea calculated by a numerical model 

      Slagstad, Dag; Støle-Hansen, Kjell; Loeng, Harald (ICES CM Documents;1989/C:20, Working paper, 1989)
      A baroclinic, 3-D model is described. It is adapted to a Barents Sea situation in order to simulate the currents in this area. The model is of a so-called level type which contains fixed, but permeable levels. It also ...
