• Effects of fish farm activities on the sponge Weberella bursa, and its associated microbiota 

  Laroche, Olivier; Meier, Sonnich; Mjøs, Svein A.; Keeley, Nigel B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

  Sustained growth of world-wide sea farming and the search of optimal growing conditions have driven several countries, including Norway, to establish new finfish sites in more exposed, high current locations. Characterized ...

• The potential for cleaner fish-driven evolution in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis: Genetic or environmental control of pigmentation? 

  Hamre, Lars Are; Oldham, Tina Marie Wier; Oppedal, Frode; Nilsen, Frank; Glover, Kevin Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

  The parasitic salmon louse represents one of the biggest challenges to environmentally sustainable salmonid aquaculture across the globe. This species also displays a high evolutionary potential, as demonstrated by its ...

• Fluorolice - Final report for FHF project 901508 

  Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Thompson, Cameron; Dalvin, Sussie; Thorsen, Anders; Bui, Samantha; Nordi, Gunnvør á; Bron, James E.; Fordyce, Mark (Rapport fra havforskningen;2021 - 30, Research report, 2021)

  Salmon lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) represent a substantial obstacle for the sustainability of salmon farming (Torrissen, et al. 2013; Vollset, et al. 2018). As such, there are many avenues of research that aim to ...

• Potential sources of marine plastic from survey beaches in the Arctic and Northeast Atlantic 

  Strand, Kjersti Opstad; Huserbråten, Mats; Dagestad, Knut-Frode; Mauritzen, Cecilie; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Nogueira, Letıcia Antunes; Melsom, Arne; Röhrs, Johannes (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

• Quantitative molecular detection of larval Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in stomach contents of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) marks regions of predation pressure 

  Allen, Bridie; Ray, Jessica Louise; Tiedemann, Maik; Komyakova, Valeriya; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen; Skaar, Katrine Sandnes; Stiasny, Martina H.; Folkvord, Arild; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Stenevik, Erling Kåre; Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

  Mortality rates in the early life-history stages of fishes are generally high yet identifying the causes remain unclear. Faltering recruitment rates of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Norwegian Sea indicate a ...
