Give students a broader knowledge of population dynamics and -models, production and productivity in boreal/polar ocean areas. | Contents
The subject deals with population dynamics and growth in pelagic and benthic organisms i boreal/polar areas and interactions between organism groups. The course covers methods and regulatory mechanisms for primary production in phytoplankton and ice algae, and secondary production at lower trophic levels, especially zooplankton and benthos. Another theme is population dynamics and models. In addition to lectures, the course consists of article seminars on current research themes, laboratory and computation exercises and, if possible, a ca. one-week cruise. | Compulsory prerequisites
