Markedsadgang for atlantisk laks fra Chile til USA
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-14)Norge eksporterte laks for 72,5 milliarder kroner i 2019 og i verdiskapning er laks den største og viktigste arten for Norge innen sjømat. Til sammenligning eksporterte Chile atlantisk laks for 32,8 milliard i 2019. En stor del av den norske eksporten går til EU-markedene, mens Chiles viktigste eksportmarked er USA. Formålet med denne oppgaven er å se om Chile har bedre markedsadgang inn til USA ... -
EUs markedsadgang for fisk og sjømat til Japan og Sør-Korea - En komparativ analyse av handelsvilkårene til EU og Norge
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-14)Den Europeiske Union (EU) er verdens største marked med en felles ytre tollmur, målt i verdi. EU er også Norges aller viktigste handelspartner for sjømateksport, og står for importen av om lag 2/3 av all norsk sjømateksport. Dette gjør at Norge står i en utsatt posisjon om EU skulle bortfalle som marked, og det er derfor interessant å skulle se på hvordan EUs markedsadgang er for sjømat i eksterne ... -
Trålernes leveringsplikt, en legitim ordning? En analyse av debatten omkring pliktsystemet og mulige konsekvenser ved bortfall av leveringsforpliktelsene.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-11-15)Langs kysten av Nord-Norge, på stortinget, og i media går debatten varm når enkelte tråleiere, ikke lever opp til samfunnets forventninger som råstoffleverandør, og samfunnsbærende næring i fiskeriavhengige kommuner. Mer spesifikt handler debatten om politiske virkemidler, heretter kalt pliktsystemet, som har med hensikt å trygge bosetting og sysselsetting i tilgodesette kommuner. Gjennom pliktsystemet ... -
Spatial and temporal distributions in the Norwegian cod fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-25)Fisheries are characterized by variations in space and time. This study investigates the characteristics of seasonality in cod trawl fisheries in two distinct areas: the coast along the northern Norway and the high sea area of the Barents Sea. Catch per unit effort (CPUE) is used to proxy variation in stock abundance. A CPUE function has been estimated in the frequency‐domain framework, to detect ... -

Shark discards in selective and mixed-species pelagic longline fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-31)The conservation status of several pelagic shark species is considered vulnerable with declining populations, yet data on shark fishing mortality remain limited for large ocean regions. Pelagic sharks are increasingly retained by mixed-species fisheries, or are discarded and not reported by selective fisheries for tunas (<i>Thunnus</i> spp.) or swordfish (<i>Xiphias gladius</i>). We estimated the ... -

Bioeconomic Modelling of Coastal Cod and Kelp Forest Interactions: Co-benefits of Habitat Services, Fisheries and Carbon Sinks
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-26)Ecosystem-based fisheries management seeks to expand upon the traditional one-stock fisheries management measures by internalizing the effects of fishing on marine ecosystems, and accounting for biological interactions among marine resources. The fact that marine resources provide multiple, often competing benefits, makes the accomplishment of these ecosystem-based fisheries management objectives ... -
Size selectivity and catch efficiency of bottom trawl with a double sorting grid and diamond mesh codend in the North-east Atlantic gadoid fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-28)This study investigated the size selectivity and catch efficiency in the North-east Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>) and haddock (<i>Melanogrammus aeglefinus</i>). The use of a sorting grid followed by a size selective codend is compulsory in this fishery. Experimental fishing was conducted with a commercially rigged trawl, flexigrid section, and diamond-mesh codend. ... -
Antimicrobial activity of small synthetic peptides based on the marine peptide turgencin A: Prediction of antimicrobial peptide sequences in a natural peptide and strategy for optimization of potency

The Geopolitics of Fish in the Arctic
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020)Climate change and declining sea-ice in the Central Arctic Ocean (CAO) has brought concerns that fish stocks may expand into the high Arctic. While the sub-Arctic seas of the North Pacific and the North Atlantic have abundant fish resources subject to major commercial fisheries for generations, the CAO has little or none. Concerns that fish stocks could expand into the CAO provided the impetus for ... -
Profit and Resource Rent in Fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-19)The difference between the concepts of profit and rent are discussed theoretically and by using aggregated data from the Icelandic and Norwegian fish harvesting industries.
