Re-thinking sustainability and food in tourism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-22)Now is a good time to reflect on the way food tourism could contribute to a better future. A number of scholars comment on the COVID-19 crisis as an opportunity to re-think tourism in terms of sustainability, social and ecological justice (e.g. Gössling, Scott, & Hall, 2020; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2020). Most considerations tend to focus on recovery strategies, challenges of over-tourism and highcarbon ... -

Haematology and clinical blood chemistry in harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) from the inner Danish waters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-07-13)Harbour porpoises (<i>Phocoena phocoena</i>) in the Baltic Sea are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities, which affect the overall health of populations. Individuals’ haematologic and biochemistry parameters are known to be linked to a population’s health status and are therefore useful tools for cross-population comparisons and to assess health patterns of a population through ... -
Strong migratory connectivity across meta-populations of sympatric North Atlantic seabirds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-04)Identifying drivers of population trends in migratory species is difficult, as they can face many stressors while moving through different areas and environments during the annual cycle. To understand the potential of migrants to adjust to perturbations, it is critical to study the connection of different areas used by different populations during the annual cycle (i.e. migratory connectivity). ... -

Thee level of eicosapentaenoic (EPA),but not docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is related to formulation and concentration of EPA and DHA in feed
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-22)The present study investigated how the concentration of PUFA in blood and muscle of Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i> L.) changed when fed 4 diets containing very different amounts of LC-PUFA in fresh water for 84 days. The n-3 LC-PUFA constituted 4.4, 24.2, 18.4, and 51.5% of the total fatty acids in the diets made with rapeseed oil, anchoveta oil, a combination of rapeseed oil (60%) and anchoveta ... -
Seasonal dietary shifts enhance parasite transmission to lake salmonids during ice cover
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-08)Changes in abiotic and biotic factors between seasons in subarctic lake systems are often profound, potentially affecting the community structure and population dynamics of parasites over the annual cycle. However, few winter studies exist and interactions between fish hosts and their parasites are typically confined to snapshot studies restricted to the summer season whereas host‐parasite dynamics ... -
Constructing managerial manoeuvring space in contradictory contexts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)This paper discusses manoeuvring space and demonstrates how autonomy, power and discretion need to be understood as constructed and integrated behaviours where managers manoeuvre between dilemmas in their own management practices. Twenty-seven Norwegian police managers were shadowed and interviewed. We found that constructions of manoeuvring space presupposed that managers balanced dilemmas. We ... -
Towards mass cultivation of diatoms as a source of marine lipids
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-04-23)The global demand for the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is increasing, and the traditional sources of these fatty acids, fish oils, are no longer able to sustain the demand. This shortage is mainly a result of the surging requirement of EPA and DHA as ingredients in fish feed for aquaculture, and as dietary supplements for human consumption. As a result, there is an increased interest ... -
