Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to genetic material shed by organisms into their surroundings, such as water, through skin, faeces, mucus, or blood. It enables scientists to detect species and assess biodiversity without the need to capture organisms directly.
Typically, in marine pelagic systems eDNA is collected by filtering water samples. In most cases, this requires researchers to t
Zooplankton — tiny drifting animals like copepods, krill, and jellyfish — are the engines of ocean food webs. They connect microscopic algae to fish, whales, and seabirds, and play a huge role in moving carbon from the surface ocean to the deep sea. Monitoring these communities is therefore critical for understanding how ocean ecosystems are responding to climate change. Collecting zooplankto

Global demand for food is increasing. To meet this need, aquaculture has also expanded and is forecast to produce 60% of all fish for human consumption by 2030. This means the aquaculture industry must find sustainable sources of fish feed. One possibility is the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus.
Today much of the feed used in fish farm

Med Berlinmurens fall i 1989 åpnet det seg et helt spesielt tidsvindu i forholdet mellom Russland (det tidligere Sovjet) og Vesten, inklusive Norge. Perioden tidlig på nittitallet utviklet samarbeid og sameksistens med vår store nabo i øst, i et omfang og av en karakter som lå langt fra den kalde krigens mistro og skepsis. Det ble igangsatt mange nysgjerrigh
