• Biological effects of marine diesel oil exposure in red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) assessed through a water and foodborne exposure experiment

      Shipping activities are expected to increase in the Arctic Seas. Today, the majority of vessels are using marine diesel oil (MDO) as propulsion fuel. However, there is a general lack of knowledge of how cold-water marine species respond to acute exposures to MDO. Arctic red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus) were exposed to mechanically dispersed MDO in a flow-through exposure system for one ...
    • Diets of gadoid fish in Arctic waters of Svalbard fjords during the polar night 

      Larsen, Lars-Henrik; Cusa, Marine Lure Joana; Eglund-Newby, Sam; Berge, Jørgen; Renaud, Paul Eric; Varpe, Øystein; Geoffroy, Maxime; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-23)
      As the climate warms, boreal fish species are expected to expand into the Arctic domain. Though water temperature is an important factor driving expansion of aquatic species, other variables may play a critical role in restricting those movements. Continuous darkness during the Arctic polar night has been suggested to impair foraging in visually searching boreal fish and may thus limit their northward ...
    • Epibenthic megafauna communities in Northeast Greenland vary across coastal, continental shelf and slope habitats 

      Fredriksen, Rosalyn; Christiansen, Jørgen Schou; Bonsdorff, Erik; Larsen, Lars-Henrik; Nordström, Marie C.; Zhulay, Irina; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-29)
      The marine area of Northeast Greenland belongs to the largest national park in the world. Biodiversity assessments and tailored conservation measures often target specific physiographic or oceanographic features of an area for which detailed knowledge on their biological communities is incomplete. This study, therefore, characterizes epibenthic megafauna communities in a priori defined seabed habitats ...
    • "Navigare necesse est". Bio Environmental implications of shipping in the European Arctic 

      Larsen, Lars-Henrik (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-06-08)
      Ocean shipping has for centuries been essential to mankind, and is the most efficient way of transporting goods across the world. With increasing global temperatures, the Arctic ice cap is reduced in thickness and extent, making Arctic shipping more feasible. The thesis looks into the biological and environmental implications of shipping in the European Arctic Seas. A scenario involving a shipping ...
