Introduction in Norwegian:
Nedanfor liste viser noverande tilbod til studentar (høgskular/universitet) om praksisplass ved HI, d.e. ulønna arbeid. Studenten er pålagt å skrive rapport/bloggar om arbeidet ho/han har gjort. Arbeidsomfanget er vanlegvis 140-150 timar ila eit semester, men nokre universitet tilbyr også emne i forskingspraksis (og ikkje berre arbeidspraksis) med ca 240-250 timar (6-8 veker). Praksis har som formål å gje studentane ei praktisk og teoretisk innføring i offentlege og private verksemder i sjømatnæringa.
Ved enkelte universitet kan praksisen gjennomførast over heile semesteret ihht avtale mellom student og verksemd, mens bachelorprogrammet i fiskeri- og havbruksvitenskap ved Norges fiskerihøgskole (UiT) har tre faste veker (veke 38, 42 og 46) i løpet av høstsemesteret som studentane skal ha praksis i bedriftene/verksemdene. Vidare ønskjer UiT at studentane skal ha fokus på bærekraft i den enkelte praksisbedrifta.
Introduction in English:
The list below shows current offers to students (college/university) for internships or professional practice at IMR, i.e. unpaid work. The student is required to write reports/blogs about the work she/he has done. The scope of work is usually 140-150 hours per semester, but some universities also offer subjects in research practice (and not just work practice) with approx. 240-250 hours (6-8 weeks). The aim of the internship is to give the students a practical and theoretical introduction to public and private enterprises in the seafood industry.
At some universities, the internship can be carried out over the whole semester according to an agreement between the student and the company, while the bachelor's program in
fisheries and aquaculture science at other universities has fixed weeks during which the students have internships in the companies/enterprises.
Aktuelle oppgaver/List of current tasks:
Organize, describe and present composition of shore crabs
In the IMR citizen science portal Dugnad for the Ocean, shore crabs are recorded in collaboration with the Oslofjord Friluftsråd/Kysthjelperne and the science centers at the national parks around the Oslofjord, as well as the Trondheim Biological Station. The collaboration started in 2026, and these annual events are meant to provide field material on shore crabs as time series of shore crabs caught at fixed locations at the same time each year. Families taking part in the "Den store krabbefiskedagen” at the national parks around the Oslofjord and the "Den store fjæredagen” in Trondheim hand over all their landed crabs to the organizers, who secure photographs of all shore crabs. The photos are submitted and registered into the IMR citizen science portal Dugnad for havet (dugnadforhavet.no) along with a description of the event and location to the Institute of Marine Research for processing.
The student can participate in the entire process from analysing of the photos, including counting and categorizing the shore crabs by size, gender, and the proportion with claw and leg injuries from five locations. The data will be processed for each location. The intention is to publish annual reports with methods, statistics, and location descriptions in the 'Nytt fra havforskningen' series and the student. If time allows, the student may take part also in editing the report.
The project manager is based at the Research Station in Austevoll. There is room to discuss a possible shared workplace between Bergen and Austevoll. The research material has already been collected, and the work is not time sensitive. A work plan can be arranged by the student and project manager.
