My research focuses on the study of population dynamics in marine fish and their assessment to provide fisheries advice. I am particularly interested in the ecological and environmental processes that drive changes in population size and structure and the consequences of these dynamics for stock assessment estimates and fisheries management. In my current projects, I work on a better understanding and predictability of recruitment variability, explore the impact of unaccounted fishing mortality and variation in natural mortality on stock estimates and uncertainty, and investigate optimal harvest regulations for stocks with cyclical dynamics. As researcher in the benthic resources unit at IMR I’m involved in the assessment of Northern shrimp in the Barents Sea and along the Norwegian coast.
