  • Zooplankton tracking with optical tools to map foraging grounds of little auks

    The CliN-BluFeed project, financed by the Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (SBEP), has a delivery in the form of a master thesis from the Polish research i IOPAN. The focus in the thesis is on the combined use of two complementary high-resolution optical tools to track copepods, the main prey for the little auk seabird.
    Energy-rich copepods, particularly Calanus spp., play a key role as a p

  • Konsekvensutredning marint vern i Sognefjorden

    Bakgrunn
    Statsforvalteren i Vestland meldte i desember 2022 om oppstart av prosess for marint vern av Sognefjorden på oppdrag fra Miljødirektoratet mottatt i mars 2022. Sognefjorden var ett av 12 foreslåtte områder for marint vern innenfor kategori 4 - Fjorder - på Rådgivende utvalgs A-liste fra 2004. Det foreslåtte verneformålet er å verne verdens dypeste fjord, med sin særegne geologi og biol

  • Exploring Carbon Remineralisation Potential and Biodiversity in West Greenland

    On June 14th, Akvaplan-nivaist Amanda Ziegler embarked on a 10-day long cruise aboard the RV Sanna from Aasiaat to Sisimiut, Greenland. The cruise, organized by collaborators at Århus University in Denmark, aimed to sample 2 fjords in Western Greenland; Disko fjord and Eqi fjord. The 8 scientists aboard characterized water column properties, collected zooplankton, sediments, and the surrounding in

  • Sonar for mapping kelp forests


    Akvaplan-niva is currently developing new methods to map kelp forests using sonars. These sonars are called multibeam echosounders and are traditionally used for bathymetry mapping, but here we record data from the water column in addition to the seafloor. This sonar system works by emitting multiple acoustic beams in a fan shape, covering a wide area called a swath (see figure below). The pu

  • Er laksen klar for havet og saltvannet?

    Masterkandidat i biologi ved Arktisk animalsk fysiologi ved UiT, Vera Andreassen Løvold, har samarbeidet med Akvaplan-niva i det pågående smoltsporingsprosjektet som gjennomføres i regi av Lakseklyngen SA. Hennes fokus har vært på den prosessen som villaksen går gjennom i sin overgang fra det ferskvannet den klekkes i, til det sjøvannet den skal vokse opp i.

  • Marine verneprosesser - stilltidende aksept eller høylytt protest?

    Av Trude Borch, Akvaplan-niva

    Norge har signert internasjonale avtaler og nylig vedtatt en havvernlov som henholdsvis forplikter og muliggjør en økning i marint vern i våre farvann. Slikt vern blir imidlertid ofte møtt med motstand. Vi skal her se på hva forskningen sier om hva som bør være på plass for å få forståelse, aksept og støtte for denne typen områdevern.

This week Sünnje Basedow from UiT The Arctic University of Norway/ UiT Norges arktiske universitet presented preliminary results from the Migratory Crossroads (MxR) project at European Marine Biology Symposium (EMBS) in Bodø, Norway. In the photo we see her with the EMBS maskot, "Robbie the salmon"

The objective of the MxR project is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the vertical migratory responses of keystone herbivorous copepod, C. finmarchicus to cumulative impacts in wake of climate change.

The project is financed by the Research Council of Norway/ Norges forskningsråd, led by Akvaplan-niva AS (Kanchana Bandara is PL) and partners are: 

UiT–The Arctic University of Norway, The Norwegian Institute for Water Research/ Norsk institutt for vannforskning - NIVA, Norsk institutt for naturforskning/Norwegian Institute of Nature Research (NINA), Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua).

We need more than just words to explain and communicate complex science. That is why visual talents like Frida Cnossen at Akvaplan-niva are so valuable. Frida has contributed with more than 70 illustrations in the newly published book from the Nansen Legacy project/ Arven etter Nansen. 

The book was launched in a small ceremony at the Science Attraction Centre Polaria in Tromsø last week with participation from the editors Arild Sundfjord, Geir Johnsen and Marit Reigstad as well as some of the 80 contributing authors. 

Frida says she was nervous when first holding the book in her hands but that she is very happy with how it turn out, and proud. As she should be. Congratulations to her, the book editors and all other contributors to this very impressive and important book targeting researchers, managers, politicians and interested general public.
