      Numerical models of ecological systems are increasingly used to address complex environmental and resource management questions. One challenge for scientists, managers, and stakeholders is to appraise how well suited these models are to answer questions of scientific or societal relevance, that is, to perform, communicate, or access transparent evaluations of ecological models. While there have been ...
    • Synergism between cruising cod and ambush sculpin predators on 0-group gadoids is modified by daylight cycle and presence of aggressive wolffish 

      Strand, Hans Kristian; Pedersen, Torstein; Christie, Hartvig C; Moy, Frithjof Emil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-06)
      Shorthorn sculpin (<i>Myoxocephalus scorpius</i>) and large cod (300–400 g body weight) are important predators on newly settled 0-group cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) and saithe (<i>Pollachius virens</i>) in Porsangerfjorden in northern Norway. The Atlantic wolffish (<i>Anarhichas lupus</i>) used to be abundant but is now very rare in the fjord. Video recorded experiments showed that interactions between ...
    • Temporal and spatial dynamics of the invasive red king crab and native brachyuran and anomuran larvae in Norwegian waters 

      Michelsen, Helena Kling; Nilssen, Einar Magnus; Pedersen, Torstein; Svensen, Camilla (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-16)
      This study investigates the temporal and spatial patterns of larval stages of the invasive red king crab <i>Paralithodes camtschaticus</i> (RKC) and co-existing native brachyurans and anomurans in a Norwegian fjord. It is one of few field studies describing the larval stage of native and invasive brachyurans and anomurans in the southern Barents Sea. Larvae were collected at 6 to 18 stations at ...
