• Aspects of the life history of the Atlantic poacher, Leptagonus decagonus, in Svalbard waters 

      Heggland, Kristin N.; Ottesen, Camilla; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-25)
      The aim of the study is to describe aspects of the life history of the Atlantic poacher (Leptagonus decagonus) obtained during early October 2010 and late September 2011 from the Hinlopen Strait, located between Nordaustlandet and the Spitsbergen Archipelago. Length was measured for 142 individuals, and 82 out of these were weighed, sexed and the age in years determined. The sex distribution in the ...
    • Early life history of daubed shanny (Teleostei: Leptoclinus maculatus) in Svalbard waters 

      Ottesen, Camilla; Hop, Haakon; Christiansen, Jørgen Schou; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The daubed shanny (Leptoclinus maculatus, Family Stichaeidae) is considered to be an ecologically significant species in the arctic waters of Norway because of high abundance and the unique energy storage abilities of its postlarvae. Both postlarvae and adults are found in relative large abundances in Svalbard fjords as well as along the ice edge of north-east Svalbard, even at sub-zero temperatures. ...
    • Life history of Leptagonus decagonus (Atlantic poacher) in Svalbard waters 

      Heggland, Kristin; Ottesen, Camilla; Berge, Jørgen (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2012-04)
      <p>The demersal fish species <i>Leptagonus decagonus</i> (Atlantic poacher) is a commonly encountered species on the continental shelf in the Barents Sea and around Svalbard, but little is known about the life-history and population traits of the species in Svalbard waters. It is therefore important to investigate this species to understand its importance in the ecosystem. <p>A total of 80 specimens ...
    • 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 ...
