• Lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) otoliths: dissection, mounting and age-reading 

      Albert, Ole Thomas; Bertelsen, Bernt; Jonsson, Sigurd T.; Pettersen, Ivar H.; Torstensen, Else (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2000-05)
      A workshop was held at Institute of Marine Research, Flødevigen Marine Research Station, Arendal, Norway, 17-19 February 1999, to investigate methodes for age-determination of lumpsucker (Cyclopterus lumpus) from otoliths. The report summarises the results from the workshop and some subsequent analyses. The otoliths are very small and special training is necessary to locate them. The zonation pattern ...

      Marine fisheries are often allocated to stocks that reflect pragmatic considerations and may not represent the species’ spatial population structure, increasing the risk of mismanagement and unsustainable harvesting. Here we compile mark–recapture data collected across the North Atlantic to gain insight into the spatial population structure of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides), an ...
    • Pan-Arctic suitable habitat model for Greenland halibut 

      Vihtakari, Mikko; Hordoir, Robinson; Treble, Margret A; Bryan, Meaghan D.; Elvarsson, Bjarki; Nogueira, Adriana; Hallfredsson, Elvar H.; Christiansen, Jørgen Schou; Albert, Ole Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-08)
      Deep-sea marine fishes support important fisheries but estimates of their distributions are often incomplete as the data behind them may reflect fishing practices, access rights, or political boundaries, rather than actual geographic distributions. We use a simple suitable habitat model based on bottom depth, temperature, and salinity to estimate the potential distribution of Greenland halibut ...
