My main research interest is life history responses to natural selection and human-induced selection in aquatic environments. Are contemporary phenotypic changes in fish populations purely ecological, or do they also represent evolutionary responses? Currently, I run a 5 year program (2010-2015) "Understanding fitness consequencs of harvesting and protection of coastal marine resources", where we take advantage of marine reserves, in essence representing large-scale field experiments, for understanding the eco-evolutionary impact of harvesting. Key species are the coastal Atlantic cod and the European lobster. My background is mainly from the University of Oslo, Norway, where I did my PhD.
