Overview

Finn Økland is affiliated with the Swedish National Board of Fisheries in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science with a significant emphasis on fish ecology and aquatic systems. The scientist's work spans various subfields including nature and landscape conservation, ecology, aquatic science, water science and technology, and global and planetary change.

Økland has contributed notably to topics such as fish ecology and management studies, fish biology and ecology studies, water quality monitoring technologies, marine and fisheries research, aquatic invertebrate ecology and behavior, physiological and biochemical adaptations, and aquaculture nutrition and growth.

Frequent publication venues for Økland include the Journal of Fish Biology, Scientific Reports, Animal Biotelemetry, Research Square (Research Square), and Aquaculture. These journals reflect a strong presence in research related to aquatic environments and fish physiology.

Several recent papers exemplify Økland's research interests:

  • Heart rate and swimming activity as stress indicators for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), 2020, Aquaculture
  • Redefining the oceanic distribution of Atlantic salmon, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Low survival of hatchery-released Atlantic salmon smolts during initial river and fjord migration, 2024, Helda (University of Helsinki)
  • Contrasting structural complexity differentiate hunting strategy in an ambush apex predator, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Heart rate and swimming activity as indicators of post-surgical recovery time of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), 2021, Animal Biotelemetry

Økland's frequent collaborators include Bengt Finstad, Henrik Baktoft, Karl Øystein Gjelland, Eirik Svendsen, and Martin Føre. These co-authors have worked with Økland on multiple publications, reflecting ongoing research partnerships within their scientific network.
