One of the logical predictions for a future Arctic characterized by warmer waters and reduced sea-ice is that new taxa will expand or invade Arctic seafloor habitats. Specific predictions regarding where this will occur and which taxa are most likely to become established or excluded are lacking...
A simulation model framework (SYMBIOSES) that includes a 3-dimensional ocean physics and biology model and a model for transport and fate of oil was used to investigate the potential for bioaccumulation and lethal/sublethal effects of oil components in the copepod Calanus finmarchicus in the Lofoten...
Introduction Norwegian aquaculture employees are exposed to a high accident risk compared to other industries. Today's open-sea fish farm production requires workers present at the fish farm daily performing manual tasks to ensure fish welfare and maintain farm structures. There is thus a need for...
The use of macroalgae as a sustainable biomass for multiple applications has gained an increased interest the last decades. The red algae Palmaria palmata is one of the species in focus due to its vast characteristics. Compared to other macroalgae that have been cultivated for decades...
With the recent decision by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to reduce maritime Greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50% by 2050, designing and implementing cost-effective measures to reduce fuel consumption and emissions becomes core priority for naval architects, shipbuilders and...
Wind and wave climatic simulations are of great interest in a number of different applications, including the design and operation of ships and offshore structures, marine energy generation, aquaculture and coastal installations. In a climate change perspective, projections of such simulations to a...
The Norwegian aquaculture industry is accident prone compared to other industries and employees report a high number of near-accidents. Furthermore, escape of fish is a challenge for the industry. There is a potential for increased safety for both humans and fish if operators can practice operations...
