    • “Public perceptions of pink salmon in Norway and willingness to pay for the current eradication management program” 

      Aasmaa, Ekaterina (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-13)
      Abstract Since 2017, Norway has experienced a large influx of Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbusha), and this species occurrence has created challenges for society, businesses, the environment, and policymakers. However, there is currently no consensus on whether pink salmon is a new resource or a pest in Norway. While some people perceive pink salmon as a food resource and a good recreational ...

    • Public vs. Private Governance in the Norwegian Aquaculture: Can the ASC Supplement or Supplant the Public Regulations? 

      Chowdhury, Fahmida (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-15)
      It is predicted that by the year 2050, the world population will reach 9.8 billion (UN, 2017). The need for fish as a good source of nutrition is also increasing. Total global aquaculture production is now exceeding the global capture fisheries production by over 18.32 million tons (FAO,2019). This increasing demand for aquatic animals as human food, limited marine captured fisheries, and the ...

    • Resource Management and the Challenges of Migration in Artisanal Fisheries. A case study on the mobility of the fishing people in Jamestown and Chorkor fishing communities in Ghana 

      Atuobi, Rexford (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-16)
      Small-scale (artisanal) fishing is increasingly important to the rural poor and accounts for majority of fish catches in Africa. Migration or mobility (movement) is a basic feature as it constitutes one of the strategies that fishing communities often use in order to secure their livelihoods. It forms an integral part of the small-scale fishing industry and has influenced the fishing sector for ...

    • Resource tax, Quality of Fishing Rights, and Economic Performance A comparative study of the fishing sectors in Iceland and Norway 

      Ólafsdóttir, Hallveig (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-16)
      Property rights and economic performance have been highly linked concepts, where the former influence the latter. In this thesis, we seek to explore property rights as fishing rights in two large fishing nations, Norway and Iceland, and the economic performance of the fishing sectors. However, there is a fundamental difference between the fishing sector in Iceland and Norway. In Iceland, the government ...

    • Rising temperatures in a subarctic lake lead to increased somatic growth rates for Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus, (L.)) 

      Kotowych, Nicholas Volodya (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)
      Cold water species living at high latitudes are expected to respond rapidly to climate change due to their sensitivity to increasing temperature. Water temperature strongly affects the ecology of fish, influencing food intake and conversion, and ultimately somatic growth rate. In a lake, somatic growth rates will also be contingent on food availability, which is negatively affected by fish abundance. ...
