• Trophic interactions between common minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) and their prey during summer in the northern Barents Sea 

  Haug, Tore; Biuw, Martin; Kovacs, Kit M.; Lindblom, Lotta; Lindstrøm, Ulf Ove; Lydersen, Christian; MacKenzie, Kirsteen; Meier, Sonnich (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Global warming is causing rapid change in marine food webs, particularly at northern latitudes where temperatures are increasing most rapidly. In this study, the diet of common minke whales Balaenoptera acutorostrata was ...

• Coastal alterations influence deep water renewal in Norwegian sill fjords 

  Johnsen, Ingrid A.; Loeng, Harald Ole; Myksvoll, Mari Skuggedal (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Recent observations have heightened concerns that the reduced density of coastal water is leading to a decrease in the frequency of basin water renewal in Norwegian sill fjords. There are indications that coastal water is ...

• Genetic analyses verify sexually mature escaped farmed Atlantic cod and farmed cod eggs in the natural environment 

  Jorde, Per Erik; van der Meeren, Terje; Quintela, Maria; Dahle, Geir; Mateos-Rivera, Alejandro; Aase, Marit; Norberg, Birgitta; Sævik, Pål Næverlid; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Glover, Kevin Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Elucidating the effects of domesticated organisms escaping into the natural environment represents a topic of importance in both evolutionary and conservation biology. However, when excluding the abundant data on salmonids, ...

• The long-lived deep-sea bivalve Acesta excavata is sensitive to the dual stressors of sediment and warming 

  Scanes, Elliot; Kutti, Tina; Fang, James K.H.; Johnston, Emma L.; Ross, Pauline M.; Bannister, Raymond (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Human influence in the deep-sea is increasing as mining and drilling operations expand, and waters warm because of climate change. Here, we investigate how the long-lived deep-sea bivalve, Acesta excavata responds to ...

• Possible transport routes of IgM to the gut of teleost fish 

  Etayo, Angela; Bjørgen, Håvard; Hordvik, Ivar; Øvergård, Aina-Cathrine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Fish rely on mucosal surfaces as their first defence barrier against pathogens. Maintaining mucosal homeostasis is therefore crucial for their overall well-being, and it is likely that secreted immunoglobulins (sIg) play ...
