Line Elisabeth Sundt-Hansen

 Skilled in Freshwater ecology, salmonid biology, Biodiversity, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental Awareness, Conservation Issues, and Marine Biology. Strong research professional with a Master's degree focused in Marine Biology and a PhD in salmonid ecology from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). 

Research on ecology, physiology and behavior of salmonids. Extensive experience in planning and executing experimental research projects in laboratory, semi-natural environments and in nature. Experience in assessing cost of rapid growth (applied and evolutionary) in salmonids and ecological risk assessment of transgenic salmon. Experience from research on salmonids in regulated rivers and effect of hydropower development. Experience from reserach on ecosystem effects of invasive non-native and native salmonids. Experience in development and use of individual based population model, IB-salmon, and statistical analyses of Atlantic salmon population data.
