Curriculum Vitae

Education: Cand. scient, University of Bergen, 1986, applied mathematics (fluid mechanics). Dr. scient, University of Bergen, 1997. Thesis title: Multispecies models for the Barents Sea.

Employed at  IMR since 1988, now permanently employed as senior scientist. I have taken part in development of both single-species and multispecies population models for the fish and marine mammal stocks in the Barents Sea (Fleksibest/Gadget, MULTSPEC). In connection with this I have done much work on modelling, computer programming and data preparation. For many years I have participated in stock assessment of the main commercial species in the Barents Sea (cod, haddock, saithe, redfish, Greenland halibut, herring, capelin) through participation in ICES assessment working groups. An important part of this work has been to use the results from research on multispecies interactions in the stock assessment of cod, haddock, capelin and herring. I now chair the ICES Arctic Fisheries Working Group (AFWG), which does stock assessment for demersal fish and capelin in the Barents Sea. I have also taken part in international cooperation on multispecies modelling, and have been Co-Chairman of the ICES Working Group on Multispecies Assessment Methods (WGSAM). I have for many years been strongly involved in the cooperation between IMR and the Russian marine research institute PINRO in Murmansk, and have the responsibility of maintaining the joint Norwegian/Russian stomach content data base.  I have also published several articles about the ecology at the higher trophic levels in the Barents Sea.
