The massive production is a result of a succesful Seafacts-symposis hosted by the IMR in 2008. Seafacts - Symposium on the Ecosystem Approach with Fisheries Acoustics and Complementary Technologies - is the largest international conference on marine acoustics.
Some of the studies are based on new technology or methodology, developed at the IMR or by their partners.

Eirik Tenningen writes a chapter in "Computers in Fisheries Research" together with Olav Rune Godø.
