Expertise in Research

  • Marine ecology
  • Fish behaviour 

Field studies: biology and ecology of cod, gobies and mesopelagic fish from research cruises to Norwegian fjords, the Norwegian Sea, and to the Benguela ecosystem outside South Africa and Namibia.

Experimental work: fish behaviour with emphasis on learning and cognitive ability in fish and how they respond to environmental variability.

Conservation and extensive mariculture of fish populations. 

Supervision: I have supervised more than 25 PhD and Master student projects
