Summary(English): The report gives an overview of cruises in 2014, by the Institute of Marine Research and University of Bergen, on board research vessels "G. O. Sars", "Johan Hjort", "G. M. Dannevig", ”Håkon Mosby”, "Helmer Hanssen" and some hired commercial vessels. Each cruise is described by a short description and a track chart mainly showing CTD, plankton and trawl stations. The coverage of the oceanographic sections is listed in a table. Another table shows the number of observations per month for the fixed stations. Meta data about the cruises are reported to the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) using the form

"Cruise Summary Report": http://www.seadatanet.org/Metadata/CSR . Research data are available from the Norwegian Marine Data Centre at Institute of Marine Research. The charts can internally at IMR be downloaded from the Institute Intranet/Archive: http://hinnsiden.imr.no/ressurser/bilder/bildearkiv

The condition monitoring shall document if fish from Norwegian ocean areas contain elevated levels of components that originate from discharges from the petroleum activity. The major objective is to document to what extent discharges from the oil and gas installations cause contamination of fish negatively affecting the quality. For both the petroleum industry and the Norwegian fishing industry it is important that safety and quality of Norwegian seafood is documented, as well as environmental health of the marine environment. Condition monitoring with fish from the Norwegian Continental Shelf are conducted every third year and shall document whether fish from Norwegian Seas are affected by pollution from oil and gas industry activities.
