      The jellyfish <i>Periphylla periphylla</i>, which can have strong ecological impacts on its environment, is ubiquitous in the Norwegian Sea and its range was predicted to extend northwards. The occurrence of <i>P. periphylla</i> in the northern Barents Sea increased since 2014 and, for the first time, several individuals were collected within a high Arctic fjord (> 78°N) in western Spitsbergen in ...
    • Jellyfish summer distribution, diversity and impact on fish farms in a Nordic fjord 

      Halsband, Claudia; Majaneva, Sanna Kristiina; Hosia, Aino; Emaus, Per; Gaardsted, Frank; Zhou, Qin; Nøst, Ole Anders; Renaud, Paul Eric (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-19)
      Jellyfish can cause high mortality of farmed fish and hence significant economic losses for the aquaculture industry. Despite their socio-economic importance, distribution and diversity data on gelatinous plankton are scarce from northern Norwegian fjords and other Nordic systems. Intense blooms of jellyfish have repeatedly been observed in Ryggefjord, Finnmark (Norway), sometimes concurrent with ...
    • Monitoring Algal Blooms with Complementary Sensors on Multiple Spatial and Temporal Scales 

      Williamson, David Roddan; Moreira Fragoso, Glaucia; Majaneva, Sanna Kristiina; Dallolio, Alberto; Halvorsen, Daniel Ørnes; Hasler, Oliver Kevin; Oudijk, Adriënne Esmeralda; Langer, Dennis David; Johansen, Tor Arne; Johnsen, Geir; Stahl, Annette; Ludvigsen, Martin; Garrett, Joseph Landon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-19)
      Climate change, and other human-induced impacts, are severely increasing the intensity and occurrences of algal blooms in coastal regions (IPCC, 2022). Ocean warming, marine heatwaves, and eutrophication promote suitable conditions for rapid phytoplankton growth and biomass accumulation. An increase in such primary producers provides food for marine organisms, and phytoplankton play an important ...
    • Where are they now? – A case study of the impact of international travel support for early career Arctic researchers 

      Majaneva, Sanna Kristiina; Hamon, Gwenaelle; Fugmann, Gerlis Ursula; Lisowska, Maja; Baeseman, Jenny Lynn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09)
      Supporting and training the next generation of researchers is crucial to continuous knowledge and leadership in Arctic research. An increasing number of Arctic organizations have developed initiatives to provide travel support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to participate in workshops, conferences and meetings and to network with internationally renowned scientific leaders. However, there has ...
