This past summer, Ingibjörg G. Jónsdóttir at the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, along with her co-authors Jón Sólmundsson, Peter J. Wright, William Butler, and Pamela Woods, published a paper in the ICES Journal of Marine Science. The study, titled ‘Key drivers and spatio-temporal variation in the reproductive potential of Icelandic cod’, investigates the roles […]
Síðasta sumar birti Ingibjörg G. Jónsdóttir hjá Hafrannsóknastofnun Íslands ásamt meðhöfundum sínum þeim Jóni Sólmundarsyni, Peter J. Wright, William Butler, og Pamela Woods grein í tímaritinu ICES Journal of Marine Science. Rannsóknin sem ber heitið „Megin drifkraftar og tímarúms breytileiki í æxlunargetur íslenska þorsksins“, kannaði heildar eggjaframleiðslu og lifun þorskseiða fyrsta árið sitt (hversu mörg

What are fish nursery grounds? Nursery grounds are places where young fish find food, favourable temperature and protection from predators during their early life stages. Different species of fish, including Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and saithe (Pollachius virens) juveniles, settle in nearshore areas at different times and depths, depending for example on the
Hvað eru uppeldissvæði fiska? Uppeldissvæði eru svæði þar sem seiði og ungir fiskar geta fundið fæði, hagstætt hitastig og öryggi frá rándýrum. Mismunandi tegundir af fiskum, eins og þorska (Gadus morhua) og ufsa (Pollachius virens) seiði, setjast að á svæðum við ströndina á mismunandi tíma og við mismunandi dýpi. Til dæmis getur tímasetning
