• Seafood production in Northern Norway: Analyzing variation and co-development in aquaculture and coastal fisheries 

      Espinasse, Marina; Mikkelsen, Eirik Inge; Sørbye, Sigrunn Holbek; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Falk-Andersson, Jannike; Fauchald, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-27)
      Norway is one of the leading ocean-based food production nations. Its seafood industry comprises wild-capture fisheries and farmed fish production. Both industries play a provisional role but also contribute to economic development of the country and help sustain coastal communities, particularly, in Northern Norway. Coastal fishery has been the staple industry in Northern Norway for centuries, while ...

      Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, J.O.; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Erikstad, K.E.; Fauchald, Per; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Steen, Harald; Strøm, H.; Systad, Geir Helge; Tveraa, Torkild (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2008-04)
      This is the third annual report of the SEAPOP programme, which was initiated in 2005. In 2007, the work continued at full scale in the Lofoten-Barents Sea area, and similar studies were initiated in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea. The report is divided into three sections. The first is an executive summary, the second presents five selected highlights from the studies in 2007, whereas the ...
    • SEAPOP studies in the Lofoten and Barents Sea area in 2005 

      Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Erikstad, Kjell E; Fauchald, Per; Lorentsen, Svein Håkon; Steen, Harald; Strøm, Hallvard; Systad, Geir Helge Rødli; Tveraa, Torkild (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2006)
      This is the first annual report from SEAPOP, a long-term seabird programme aiming to provide and maintain base-line knowledge needed for an improved management of marine areas. For several reasons, the activities in the initial year were restricted to the Lofoten and Barents Sea area, but the programme is designed for implementation on the full national scale within a few years. The report ...
    • SEAPOP studies in the Lofoten and Barents Sea area in 2006 

      Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Erikstad, Kjell Einar; Fauchald, Per; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Steen, Harald; Strøm, Hallvard; Systad, Geir Helge; Tveraa, T (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2007-04)
      This is the second annual report of the SEAPOP programme, which was initiated in 2005. In 2006, the programme was extended to the near full scale in the Lofoten-Barents Sea area, but it is aimed for implementation at the national level within few years. The report is divided into three sections. The first is an executive summary, the second presents five selected highlights from the studies in ...
    • Sjøfugl og marine økosystemer. Status for sjøfugl og sjøfuglenes næringsgrunnlag i Norge og på Svalbard 

      Fauchald, Per; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Erikstad, Kjell E; Nøttestad, Leif; Skern-Mauritzen, Mette; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015)
      Denne synteserapporten beskriver hvordan endringene og fluktuasjonene i økosystemene i norske havområder påvirker næringsforholdene for sjøfugl. Disse endringene har konsekvenser for sjøfuglsamfunnene langs kysten, og tilstanden for mange bestander har blitt betegnet som kritisk. Selv om mange bestander går tilbake, er bildet langt fra entydig, og vi finner ingen enkle sammenhenger mellom tilstanden ...
    • Small hydropower, large obstacle? Exploring land use conflict, Indigenous opposition and acceptance in the Norwegian Arctic 

      Engen, Sigrid; Hausner, Vera Helene; Fauchald, Per; Ruud, Audun; Broderstad, Else Grete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-23)
      In this study, we explore Indigenous energy opposition to and acceptance of small hydropower development. In Sapmi ´ (i.e., the traditional homeland of the Indigenous S´ ami people), land development poses a major threat to the cultural and material needs of the S´ ami people through the loss of pastures essential to Sami ´ reindeer herding. In contrast to large-scale renewable energy projects ...
    • Stakeholders’ perceptions of protected area management following a nationwide community-based conservation reform 

      Engen, Sigrid; Fauchald, Per; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-24)
      People’s perceptions can point to reasons for conservation support or lack thereof. In this study, we surveyed the perceptions of conservation among local stakeholders who participated in protected area (PA) management following a reform towards community-based conservation in Norway. We analyzed the link between perceptions of threats to conservation values, prioritized management actions and ...
    • The status and trends of seabirds breeding in Norway and Svalbard 

      Fauchald, Per; Anker-Nilssen, Tycho; Barrett, Robert T.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Bårdsen, Bård-Jørgen; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Descamps, Sebastien; Engen, Sigrid; Erikstad, Kjell E; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Moe, Børge; Reiertsen, Tone; Strøm, Hallvard; Systad, Geir Helge (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-03)
      This report presents the updated sizes, trends and spatial distributions of the breeding populations of 17 seabird species breeding in Norway and Svalbard. The analyses are based on available census and monitoring data from SEAPOP; the Norwegian monitoring and mapping program for seabirds. In addition, the report presents results from a species-specific literature review of the most important ...
    • Strong migratory connectivity across meta-populations of sympatric North Atlantic seabirds 

      Merkel, Benjamin; Descamps, Sebastien; Yoccoz, Nigel; Grémillet, David; Fauchald, Per; Danielsen, Jóhannis; Daunt, Francis; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Ezhov, Aleksey V.; Harris, Mike P.; Gavrilo, Maria; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Systad, Geir Helge Rødli; Thórarinsson, Thorkell Lindberg; Wanless, Sarah; Strøm, Hallvard (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). ...
    • Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic 

      Fauchald, Per; Hausner, Vera Helene; Schmidt, Jennifer Irene; Clark, Douglas A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-04)
      Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems are increasingly subjected to global warming, industrial development and globalization which subsequently alter the local SES dynamics. Based on common-pool resource theory, we developed a dynamic conceptual model explaining how exogenous drivers ...
    • Year-round distribution of Northeast Atlantic seabird populations: applications for population management and marine spatial planning 

      Fauchald, Per; Amélineau, Françoise; Bråthen, Vegard Sandøy; Descamps, Sebastien; Ekker, Morten; Helgason, Halfdan Helgi; Johansen, Malin; Merkel, Benjamin; Moe, Børge; Åström, Jens; Bjørnstad, Oskar; Chastel, Olivier; Christensen-Dalsgaard, Signe; Danielsen, Jóhannis; Daunt, Francis; Dehnhard, Nina; Erikstad, Kjell E.; Ezhov, Alexey; Gavrilo, Maria; Hallgrimsson, Gunnar Thor; Hansen, Erpur Snær; Harris, Mike; Helberg, Morten; Jónsson, Jón Einar; Kolbeinsson, Yann; Krasnov, Yuri V.; Langset, Magdalene; Lorentsen, Svein-Håkon; Lorentzen, Erlend; Newell, Mark; Olsen, Bergur; Reiertsen, Tone Kristin; Systad, Geir Helge Rødli; Thompson, Paul; Thórarinsson, Thorkell Lindberg; Wanless, Sarah; Wojczulanis-Jakubas, Katarzyna; Strøm, Hallvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Tracking data of marine predators are increasingly used in marine spatial management. We developed a spatial data set with estimates of the monthly distribution of 6 pelagic seabird species breeding in the Northeast Atlantic. The data set was based on year-round global location sensor (GLS) tracking data of 2356 adult seabirds from 2006−2019 from a network of seabird colonies, data describing the ...
