• Density-dependent growth as a key mechanism in the regulation of sh populations: evidence from among-population comparisons 

      Lorenzen, Kai; Enberg, Katja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001-11-30)
      It is generally assumed that fish populations are regulated primarily in the juvenile (pre-recruit) phase of the life cycle, although density dependence in growth and reproductive parameters within the recruited phase has ...
    • Direct and indirect climate forcing in a multi-species marine system 

      Ottersen, Geir; Stige, Leif Christian; Dalpadado, Padmini; Chan, Kung-Sik; Hjermann, Dag Ø.; Lajus, Dmitry L.; Yaragina, Natalia A.; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10)
      Interactions within and between species complicate quantification of climate effects, by causing indirect, often delayed, effects of climate fluctuations and compensation of mortality. Here we identify direct and indirect ...
    • Evolution of growth in Gulf of St Lawrence cod? 

      Heino, Mikko; Baulier, Loïc; Boukal, David S.; Dunlop, Erin S.; Eliassen, Sigrunn; Enberg, Katja; Jørgensen, Christian; Varpe, Øystein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-22)
      Fishing is often size selective such that the likelihood of capture increases with body size. It has therefore been postulated that fishing could favour evolution of slower growth because smaller size would reduce exposure ...
    • The impacts of different management strategies and environmental forcing in ecological communities 

      Enberg, Katja; Fowler, Mike S.; Ranta, Esa (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-07-05)
      Understanding the effects of population management on the community a target species belongs to is of key importance for successful management. It is known that the removal or extinction of a single species in a community ...
    • Influence of oceanic factors on Anguilla anguilla (L.) over the twentieth century in coastal habitats of the Skagerrak, southern Norway 

      Durif, Caroline M.F.; Gjøsæter, Jakob; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-26)
      The European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) is distributed all over Europe, but reproduction takes place in the Atlantic Ocean, in the Sargasso Sea. The population has been undergoing a steady decline since the 1980s. The eel ...
    • Seasonal plankton dynamics along a cross-shelf gradient 

      Stenseth, Nils Christian; Llope, Marcos; Anadón, Ricardo; Ciannelli, Lorenzo; Chan, Kung-Sik; Hjermann, Dag Ø.; Bagøien, Espen; Ottersen, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-08-08)
      Much interest has recently been devoted to reconstructing the dynamic structure of ecological systems on the basis of time-series data. Using 10 years of monthly data on phyto- and zooplankton abundance from the Bay of ...
    • Spawning stock and recruitment in North Sea cod shaped by food and climate 

      Olsen, Esben Moland; Ottersen, Geir; Llope, Marcos; Chan, Kung-Sik; Beaugrand, Grégory; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-09-01)
      In order to provide better fisheries management and conservation decisions, there is a need to discern the underlying relationship between the spawning stock and recruitment of marine fishes, a relationship which is ...
