| 2024001003 | 17/02 - 21/02 | Institute of Marine Research (IMR) has a number of repeated sections where we sample oceanography, nutrients and ocean acidification, phytoplankton, and zooplankton several times per year. The standard sampling at these sections involves use of research vessels. IMR are now assessing (as part of the project New Monitoring methodology - NEMO) the possibilities of replacing some of the standard sampling at the repeat sections with autonomous marine robotics. In this test survey we simultaneously collected data with marine robotics and standard sampling to 1) evaluate the quality of the data collected with autonomous robotics compared to standard sampling, 2) assess the gain (higher resolution in space and time) and what might be lost (taxonomy, species composition) when using robotics compared to standard sampling, 3) gain experience with the different data types including the workload (use/piloting, data processing etc.) needed to obtain them, 4) assess the strengths of different robotics for evaluating their usefulness both on repeat sections as well as in coastal regions, and (if the weather allows for it) 5) evaluate the suitability of the robotics in offshore (rough) waters.

| 2024009005 | 29/01 - 02/02 | Kopper blir i hovedsak brukt som antibegroingsmiddel på nøter ved marine matfiskanlegg, og estimat på bruk av kopper i norsk fiskeoppdrett viser at oppdrettsnæringa er den største bidragsyteren til utslipp av kopper i Norge. Den økte veksten i næringa har også medført en økning i mengde utslipp av kopper, og det er estimert at det årlige utslippet fra næringa er mer enn 1000 tonn. Måling av kopper i sediment på bunnen ved oppdrettslokaliteter i Hordaland har vist at det kan forekomme relativt høye konsentrasjoner under enkelte anlegg. Det er et behov for økt kunnskap om effektene av bruk av kopper ved akvakulturproduksjon. Materiale: Starta overvåkingsserie av Cu og andre fremmedstoff i sediment i utfellingsområder i Hordaland som kan bli påvirket av utslipp fra akvakulturanlegg. Ca 20 stasjoner ble prøvetatt i årlig i periodenn2018-2023 (inkludert stasjoner fra Blue planet overvåkingen).

| 2024005019 | 11/10 - 14/10 | Baleen (Mysticeti) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), known collectively as the great whales, include the largest animals in the history of life on Earth. Great whales have been advocated as prime sentinel species for ocean and human health for over a decade. This is because they have long life spans, occur in coastal areas, feed at high trophic levels, and have unique fat stores that serve as depots for anthropogenic pollutants. Their large sizes and powerful blows also facilitate non-invasive sample collection. And their charismatic nature typically stimulates an exaggerated human behavioural response, making health concerns that affect these species make humans more likely to pay attention to ocean health issues | Norwegian Coast: Nordland | - | - |

| 2024200002 | 08/01 - 14/01 | This survey supports the projects "By-catch of seabirds in coastal purse seine fisheries" (15590-05) and "Mitigation measures for whale - fishery interactions" (15590-04), both financed by FHF. The survey will be on board fishing boats and the experiments will be carried out during commercial fishing activity. The presence of whales and seabirds and their interactions with the fish and fishing net will be monitored for better understanding of the magnitude of the problem and the mechanisms that lead to whales and seabirds being caught in the fishing nets. We will then test existing methods (e.g. sound signals on whales and light, water flush or visual scaring devices on birds) to investigate if and how whale and seabird by-catch in purse seine fisheries can be reduced. | Norwegian Coast: Troms/Finnmark | - | - |

| 2024203003 | 02/07 - 02/08 | The main objective of the the International Ecosystem Summer Survey in the Nordic Seas (IESSNS) is to provide annual age-segregated abundance index, with an uncertainty estimate, for northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus). The index is used as a tuning series in stock assessment according to conclusions from the 2017 and 2019 ICES mackerel benchmarks. A standardised pelagic swept area trawl method is used to obtain the abundance index and to study the spatial distribution of mackerel in relation to other abundant pelagic fish stocks and to environmental factors in the Nordic Seas, as has been done annually since 2010. Another aim is to construct a new time series for blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) abundance index and for Norwegian spring-spawning herring (NSSH) (Clupea harengus) abundance index. This is obtained by utilizing standardized acoustic methods to estimate their abundance in combination with biological trawling on acoustic registrations. | Norwegian Sea | 26-91 | 31-115 |

| 2024208001 | 19/11 - 11/12 | Catch and release tagging of Norwegian Spring Spawning herring with RFID tags on their wintering grounds. Herring are caught with a purse seine, pumped into holding tanks on the boat via a vacuum pump system. Aproximately 3-4000 fish are pumped on board divided among 3 holding tanks. The fish are sorted on quality for how much scale loss or injuries, then measured for length and tagged with a RFID chip and released after tagging. Fish that are not tagged are euthanized immediately. A sample of fish is taken av 20 individuals per cm group to be used for age-length estimation. 30111 herring were tagged in 2024 and tagging took place in Reisafjord, Kvænangen and Altafjord over the course of 19 days with tagging. There were a total of 6 fish samples taken with age, length, weight, fatt, gonad development and weight taken as parameters. Fish lengths ranged from 20cm to 38cm and the majority of fish tagged were from 26-30cm. On days without tagging because of bad weather, or difficulty in catching fish and during crew changes sampling of fish was prioritized. Crew changing occured in Alta this year on the 29th to 30th of November. Cruise coordinator: Aril Slotte, Institute of Marine Research | Norwegian Sea | - | - |
| 2024209001 | 19/06 - 14/08 | The primary objective of the whale counting survey is to collect sightings information for estimating abundance of whales, especially minke whales, as part of a long-term survey program to cover the Northeast Atlantic over the years 2020-2025.The survey vessel has followed predetermined tracklines on which observations of whales have been recorded by dedicated observers. Data collected for each observation include: Species, position, position relative to vessel, weather data and other covariates. In total, around 3000 nautical miles were surveyed in the waters around Svalbard. Limiting factors to overall transect coverage were primarily weather conditions (wind, fog) and sea ice.Combined for the two platforms, 338 minke whale observations were recorded. Other species recorded were fin whale (349 observations), blue whale (36 observations), sei whale (12 observations), humpback whale (136 observations), bowhead whale (12 observations), harbor porpoise (21 observations), white-beaked dolphin (591 observations), Northern bottlenose whale (4 observations) and sperm whale (14 observations).Moreover, some pinniped species were encountered, including harp seal (102 observations), hooded seal (2 observations), ringed seal (2 observations), bearded seal (1 observation) and walrus (4 observations). | Barents Sea | - | - |

| 2024217003 | 22/08 - 11/09 | Taskekrabbe har spred seg nordover i Troms, men utbredelse og bestandstetthet har så langt ikke blitt kartlagt. Det er ukjent om taskekrabbe overlapper med kongekrabbe, som fortsetter å spre seg vestover og har sannsynligvis etablert lokale bestander i deler av Troms. Vi planlegger derfor å kartlegge krabbebestandene i Troms for å 1) undersøke utbredelse og tetthet av taskekrabbebestanden i forhold til miljøparametere: 2) kartlegge lokale forekomster av kongekrabbe i sørvestlige deler av Troms: 3) bestemme mulig overlapp mellom de to artene: 4) etablere et datagrunnlag for å lage bestandsindikatorer for krabber i et viktig område for fiske- og havbruksnæringen. Prosjektet er del av overvåking av skalldyrressurser langs kysten. I tillegg skal toktet gjennomføre hydrografiundersøkelser med CTD-stasjoner som en del av rutineovervåking av fjorder i Troms. CTD-målingene inngår i overvåkingstidsserien for fjordoseanografi i Nord-Norge. Krabbekartlegging og CTD-transekter ble kombinert i 2023 og er en effektiv måte til å maksimere tidsbruk og nytteverdi av toktet. Innsamlet miljødata skal i tillegg kombineres med biologiske data til artsfordelingsmodellering av krabbeartene. | Norwegian Coast: Troms/Finnmark | - | - |
| 2024217004 | 07/08 - 19/08 | We aim to achieve three complimentary goals with this research survey investigating porbeagle which are, in order of priority: (1) retrieve satellite tags deployed in 2023, (2) tag 5 additional individuals, and (3) take tissue and eDNA samples (in detail below). Knowledge on the population structure and migration across management areas has been requested by ICES during the recent benchmark (2022) and ICCAT through the recent prioritisation workshop on its shark research and data collection programme. The genetics will further provide valuable pilot data to evaluate the potential for eDNA to characterise populations and therefore its usefulness for future monitoring of stocks. RE 1: We tagged four porbeagles in Aug 2023 each with a combination of two types of satellite tags (Sharks on the Move). One type, the archival tags, will detach and pop-up next year, 2 of them in Aug 2024 and will start sending summary data and their position. Assuming a certain degree of return migration to northern Norway in summer based on previous studies and experiences, we aim to retrieve the tags physically to download the entire data archive, which is an incredibly valuable time series with archived data every 5 seconds. The tags will send their positions for max. 10 days. RE 2: We aim to double-tag an additional 5 porbeagles to increase our overall sample size of tagged individuals to 10 (1 in 2022, 4 in 2023, 5 in 2024), to fulfill NFR commitments and deliver to ICCAT and ICES. RE 3: We aim to collect tissue and skin slime samples from all tagged porbeagle as well as take eDNA samples from the tagging spot for analyses comparing individual-based genetic information with environmental genetic information to assess monitoring potential of the latter to inform management (eWHALE). | Atlantic Ocean | - | - |
