Objectives
Improving the operational system for forecasting and monitoring of fish larvae transport
Background
The Norwegian Meteorological Institute (met.no) and the Institute for Marine Research (IMR) have a national responsibility for providing information on weather, ocean currents and sea state for planning and protection of the environment. Ecosystem models are used by met.no and IMR to model, explore and monitor phytoplankton dynamics, zooplankton, fish eggs and larval growth, transport and spreading.
Financing
- The Research Council of Norway, Program HAVKYST
