      Vogel, Emma Frances; Rikardsen, AH; Blanchet, Marie-Anne; Blévin, Pierre; Biuw, Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-21)
      Norwegian killer whales (Orcinus orca) are thought to be generalists that feed primarily on fish, but some individuals have been observed targeting pinnipeds. In the study reported here, field observations of foraging behaviours formed the basis of a priori classification as either seal-eaters or fish-eaters. Concurrent collection of photographic identification and biopsies for stable isotope analysis ...

      Huse, Geir; Baussant, Thierry; Becker, Meike; Biuw, Martin; Bødtker, Gunhild; Cook, Jeremy; Gomiero, Alessio; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Handegard, Nils Olav; Hestnes, Arne Johan; Hole, Lars Robert; Husson, Berengere; Jaccard, Pierre Franqois; Johannessen, Johnny Andre; Krolicka, Adriana; Lien, Vidar Surén; Lindemann, Christian; Olsen, Are; Renner, Angelika; Lid, Sjur Ringheim; Steen-Larsen, Hans Christian; Strand, Espen; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Pedersen, Geir (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2023-08-24)
      The One Ocean Expedition (OOE) was a 20-month long circumnavigation of the globe by the Norwegian sail training vessel Statsraad Lehmkuhl, and a recognised part of the UN decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The ship was equipped with modern instrumentation to collect high-quality data on ocean physics, chemistry, and biology. Many of the data series were available in near real time ...
    • Report from a krill focused survey with RV Kronprins Haakon and land-based predator work in Antarctica during 2018/2019 

      Krafft, Bjørn Arne; Bakkeplass, Kjell Gunnar; Berge, Terje; Biuw, Martin; Erices, Julio Alberto; Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Knutsen, Tor; Kubilius, Rokas; Kvalsund, Merete; Lindstrøm, Ulf; Macaulay, Gavin; Renner, Angelika; Rey, Alina; Søiland, Henrik; Wienerroither, Rupert; Ahonen, Heidi; Goto, Jade; Hoem, Nils; Huerta, Magdelena; Höfer, Juan; Iden, Oda; Jouanneau, William; Kruger, Lucas; Liholt, Håvard; Lowther, Andy; Makhado, Azwianewi B.; Mestre, Mireia; Narvestad, Audun; Oosthuisen, Chris; Rodrigues, Jose Antonio Canseco; Øyerhamn, Rune (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019)
      The primary objective for this krill research activity was twofold 1) to conduct a survey that provides updated estimates of the biomass and distribution of krill which are used in models to estimate sustainable yield in CCAMLR Area 48 and 2) to develop knowledge on the marine environment essential for the implementation of a Feed-Back Management (FBM) system. The survey follows a similar design ...
    • Report From Surveys To Assess Harp And Hooded Seal Pup Production In The Greenland Sea Pack-Ice In 2022 

      Biuw, Martin; Nilssen, Kjell Tormod; Kristiansen, Martin; Lindblom, Lotta; Poltermann, Michael Tino; Haug, Tore; Johansson, Malin (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-06-07)
      Cruise no.: 2022703 : The 2022 survey of harp and hooded seal pup production in the Greenland Sea was carried out to obtain updated estimates to be used to assess current status of these two seal stocks. Since a similar survey in 2018 indicated a 40% reduction in harp seal pup production since the 2012 survey, and the continued lack of increase in pup production of the severely depleted hooded ...
    • Round-trip migration and energy budget of a breeding female humpback whale in the Northeast Atlantic 

      Kettemer, Lisa Elena; Mul, Evert; Blanchet, Marie-Anne; Rikardsen, Audun; Biuw, Martin; Broms, Fredrik Björn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)
      In the northern hemisphere, humpback whales (<i>Megaptera novaeangliae</i>) typically migrate between summer/autumn feeding grounds at high latitudes, and specific winter/spring breeding grounds at low latitudes. Northeast Atlantic (NEA) humpback whales for instance forage in the Barents Sea and breed either in the West Indies, or the Cape Verde Islands, undertaking the longest recorded mammalian ...
    • Salmon louse infestation levels on sea trout can be predicted from a hydrodynamic lice dispersal model 

      Bøhn, Thomas; Nilsen, Rune; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Biuw, Martin; Primicerio, Raul; Karlsen, Ørjan; Serra Llinares, Rosa Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-13)
      1. The abundance of the parasitic salmon louse has increased with the growth in aquaculture of salmonids in open net pens. This represents a threat to wild salmonid populations as well as a key limiting factor for salmon farming. The Norwegian ‘traffic light’ management system for salmon farming aims to increase aquaculture production while securing sustainable wild salmonid populations. However, ...
    • Seasonal dynamics of carbonate chemistry, nutrients and CO2 uptake in a sub-Arctic fjord 

      Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Renner, Angelika; Chierici, Melissa; Wiedmann, Ingrid; Lødemel, Helene; Biuw, Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-17)
      Environmental change can have a significant impact on biogeochemical cycles at high latitudes and be particularly important in ecologically valuable fjord ecosystems. Seasonality in biogeochemical cycling in a sub-Arctic fjord of northern Norway (Kaldfjorden) was investigated from October 2016 to September 2018. Monthly changes in total inorganic carbon (C<sub>T</sub>), alkalinity (A<sub>T</sub>), ...
    • Seasonal ecology in ice-covered Arctic seas - Considerations for spill response decision making 

      Aune, Magnus; Aniceto, Ana Sofia; Biuw, Martin; Daase, Malin; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Leu, Eva; Ottesen, Camilla; Sagerup, Kjetil; Camus, Lionel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-05)
      Due to retreating sea ice and predictions of undiscovered oil and gas resources, increased activity in Arctic shelf sea areas associated with shipping and oil and gas exploration is expected. Such activities may accidentally lead to oil spills in partly ice-covered ocean areas, which raises issues related to oil spill response. Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA) is the process that the response ...
    • Sluttrapport for prosjekt: "Kartlegging og testing av metoder for å redusere interaksjoner mellom fiskeri og hval" - FHF 901681 

      Tenningen, Maria; Sivle, Lise Doksæter; Biuw, Martin; Rikardsen, Audun H. (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2024-04-03)
      Spekkhoggere og knølhval i norske farvann følger den pelagiske fiskeflåten og beiter på fisken som blir samlet sammen av nøtene. Disse interaksjonene har ved flere anledninger ført til skade eller død av hval, og fangsttap og ødelagte redskap for fiskerne. Målsetningen i dette prosjektet var å kartlegge og teste utstyr og metoder som kan bidra til å redusere uønskede interaksjoner mellom spekkhoggere ...
