Lecture

The Oslofjord ecosystem


Life in the sea and the fjord concerns us all. The Oslofjord's ecosystem is changing and has set off alarm bells. What do scientists know about the condition and possibilities for the future of the Oslofjord?

In the lecture The Oslofjord's past (and future?) as a fish-rich ecosystem, marine biologist Even Molland takes a look at the historical development of the ecosystem and fisheries in the fjord, and points to opportunities for improving the condition in light of the measures being implemented.

The Institute of Marine Research in Bergen received the Teknas bauta in 2025, which is erected approximately once a year throughout the country to remind us of achievements in technology and science. The achievements must be of decisive importance for social development, the economy and/or work. Read Life is teeming in the Oslofjord – but there are many small fish | Institute of Marine Research.

He works as a marine scientist at the Institute of Marine Research Flødevigen, and is an associate professor in marine conservation science at the University of Agder. His research is broad and has conducted research projects in southern and northern waters, including the Oslofjord.
