      There is very little knowledge related to how floating windfarms effect the marine environment as this is such a new “product”. Thus, the data that we gathered on this cruise will be novel in that sense. The aim of the cruise was to look at possible effects of the windfarm on the marine environment. Based on limited cruise time and tough weather conditions around Hywind Tampen we had to be selective ...
    • The effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on thyroid hormones and metabolic rate in exposed herring gull (Larus argentatus) chicks 

      Sveistrup, Anne (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05-18)
      The objectives of the present study were to investigate how plasma concentrations of POPs can affect thyroid hormone levels and basal metabolic rate (BMR) in herring gull (Larus argentatus) chicks. Thyroid hormones are the major controllers of metabolic rate in birds. High concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may alter the thyroid hormone homeostasis and subsequently the BMR and ...
