    • Age class composition and growth of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the shallow water zone of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Brand, Markus; Spotowitz, Lisa; Mark, Felix; Berge, Jørgen; Langhelle, Erlend; Weslawski, Jan Marcin; Godiksen, Jane Aanestad; Fischer, Philipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-26)
      Although Atlantic cod has been observed in Svalbard waters since the 1880s, knowledge about the presence in the Arctic shallow water zone is limited. The regular catch of juvenile Atlantic cod in Kongs orden since 2008 is in line with an overall northward shift of boreal fish species toward the Arctic. This is the first study showing the age class composition, growth rates, and stomach content ...

      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 ...
    • Expected Climate Change in the High Arctic—Good or Bad for Arctic Charr? 

      Svenning, Martin; Bjørvik, Eigil T.; Godiksen, Jane Aanestad; Hammar, Johan; Kohler, Jack; Borgstrøm, Reidar; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-23)
      Lakes in the High Arctic are characterized by their low water temperature, long-term ice cover, low levels of nutrients, and low biodiversity. These conditions mean that minor climatic changes may be of great importance to Arctic freshwater organisms, including fish, by influencing vital life history parameters such as individual growth rates. In this study, Arctic charr sampled from two Svalbard ...
