Additional research interests cover underwater acoustics, the food industry related to aquatic biology, coral and marine ecosystems, and detailed studies of fish biology and ecology.

Olav Rune Godø has contributed to several publications, with a frequent presence in venues such as BIBSYS Brage (Norway), the Journal of Crustacean Biology, Remote Sensing, and The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America.

Notable recent papers include:

  • "Reaction norm analysis of fisheries-induced adaptive change and the case of the Northeast Arctic cod," 2024, 14 s.
  • "Corrigenda to: Standing stock of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana, 1850) (Euphausiacea) in the Southwest Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean, 2018-19," 2021, Journal of Crustacean Biology
  • "A Flexible Autonomous Robotic Observatory Infrastructure for Bentho-Pelagic Monitoring," 2020, Sensors
  • "OUP accepted manuscript," 2021, Journal of Crustacean Biology
  • "Voluntary actions by the Antarctic krill fishing industry help reduce potential negative impacts on land-based marine predators during breeding, highlighting the need for CCAMLR action," 2022, ICES Journal of Marine Science

Olav Rune Godø has collaborated extensively with a range of coauthors, with several repeated collaborators including Vidar Hjellvik, Nicholas C. Makris, Philip N. Trathan, Tony Greig, and Douglas Beare.
