      On 30th March 2022, all Russian participation in ICES was suspended. Although the announcement of the suspension stressed the role of ICES as a “multilateral science organization”, this suspension applied not only to research activities but also to the ICES work providing fisheries advice for the sustainable management of fish stocks and ecosystems. As a result of the suspension, it is not possible ...
    • Epibenthic fauna in Balsfjord. Potential food for the invasive red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) with special attention to the deposit-feeding sea star Ctenodiscus crispatus 

      Tranang, Caroline Aas (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2017-05-12)
      After its introduction to the Barents Sea in the 1960’s, the red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus has become an invasive species in northern Norwegian fjords and it is continuing to spread southward along the coast. Due to its negative effects on native benthic fauna through predation, establishing baseline studies in undisturbed fjords is important. In this study, the soft-bottom epibenthic ...
    • Microplastic Fiber Emissions From Wastewater Effluents: Abundance, Transport Behavior and Exposure Risk for Biota in an Arctic Fjord 

      Herzke, Dorte; Ghaffari, Peygham; Sundet, Jan Henry; Tranang, Caroline Aas; Halsband, Claudia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-07)
      Microfibers (MF) are one of the major classes of microplastic found in the marine environment on a global scale. Very little is known about how they move and distribute from point sources such as wastewater effluents into the ocean. We chose Adventfjorden near the settlement of Longyearbyen on the Arctic Svalbard archipelago as a case study to investigate how microfibers emitted with untreated ...
