For those curious, yes those are tadpoles, and "Rumpetroll" is the Norwegian word for tadpole.

Tadpoles. Right...

It's actually true, in norwegian 'rumpetroll' means tadpole http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpetroll

but the literal translation is "ass troll", yes, seriously. that's why it's extra fun! especially if you are swedish like me ;)

I thought "rumpetroll" was a fake word along the lines of "guleböj" and "brusefåtölj" when I saw it. Fellow Swede here.

haha. yeah, when I first moved to Norway I couldn't believe it either :)
