Bakgrunnen for denne undersøkelsen var at de siste kjente observasjoner av ål i Sira-vassdraget var fra tidlig på 1990-tallet, og det ble stilt spørsmål om ålen som art hadde forsvunnet fra vassdraget. Formålene med prosjektet var å undersøke og vurdere: 1. Tilstand for ål i Siravassdraget. Fiske etter ål ved el-fiske, ruser, teiner og markliner ble gjennomført for å undersøke om og eventuelt hvor ...

The objective of this paper was to compare the growth and gut morphology of juvenile diploid and triploid Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) reared under similar conditions. Individually tagged 36-week old diploid (mean weight 49.3 ± 13.8 g) and triploid (mean weight 43.6 ± 11.2) juvenile cod were measured at intervals during a 29-weeks growth trial. Data for weight, length, condition factor (K), hepato-somatic ...

1.A major challenge in biodiversity conservation is to facilitate viable populations of large apex predators in ecosystems where they were recently driven to ecological extinction due to resource conflict with humans. 2. Monetary compensation for losses of livestock due to predation is currently a key instrument to encourage human–carnivore coexistence. However, a lack of quantitative estimates ...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a ...

Weather extremes are one important element of ongoing climate change, but their impacts are poorly understood because they are, by definition, rare events. If the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increase, there is an urgent need to understand and predict the ecological consequences of such events. In this study, we aimed to quantify the effects of snow storms on nest survival ...

Vi undersøkte atferd og spredning av rømt oppdrettslaks og villaks i Namsen og andre elver i Midt-Norge i 2012. Hovedmålsettingen var å skaffe kunnskap slik at man kan gjøre sikrere beregninger av den reelle andelen rømt oppdrettslaks i lakseelver. De ulike delmålene var å:  Vurdere sikkerheten i dagens metoder for beregning av andel oppdrettslaks i gytebe-stander av villaks.  Sammenligne ...
