DNA-analysis to monitor fisheries and aquaculture: Too costly?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Evidence from DNA‐analysis is commonplace in human criminal investigations, and while it is increasingly being used in wildlife crime, to date, its application to control and enforcement activities in fisheries and aquaculture ... -
Dnd knockout ablates germ cells and demonstrates germ cell independent sex differentiation in Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-18)Introgression of farmed salmon escapees into wild stocks is a major threat to the genetic integrity of wild populations. Using germ cell-free fish in aquaculture may mitigate this problem. Our study investigated whether ... -
Do abiotic mechanisms determine interannual variability in length-at-age of juvenile Arcto-Norwegian cod?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)For the large Arcto-Norwegian stock of cod (Gadus morhua L.) in the Barents Sea, year-to-year variability in growth is well documented. Here three hypotheses for the observed inverse relation between abundance and the mean ... -
Do accurate stock estimates increase harvest and reduce variability in fisheries yields?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-03-22)Fisheries managers normally make decisions based on stock abundance estimates subject to process, observation, and model uncertainties. Considerable effort is invested in gathering information about stock size to decrease ... -
Do background levels of the pesticide pirimiphosmethyl in plant-based aquafeeds affect food safety of farmed Atlantic salmon?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The substitution of fish oil and fishmeal with plant-based ingredients in commercial aquafeeds for Atlantic salmon, may introduce novel contaminants that have not previously been associated with farmed fish. The organophosphate ... -
Does density influence relative growth performance of farm, wild and F1 hybrid Atlantic salmon in semi-natural and hatchery common garden conditions?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-06)The conditions encountered by Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in aquaculture are markedly different from the natural environment. Typically, farmed salmon experience much higher densities than wild individuals, and may ... -
Does Domestication Cause Changes in Growth Reaction Norms? A Study of Farmed, Wild and Hybrid Atlantic Salmon Families Exposed to Environmental Stress
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-31)One of the most important traits linked with the successful domestication of animals is reducing their sensitivity to environmental stressors in the human controlled environment. In order to examine whether domestication ... -
Does grab size influence sampled macrofauna composition? A test conducted on deep-sea communities in the northeast Atlantic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In deep-sea surveys, heavy gears are often preferred to effectively collect macro benthos while smaller samplers are sufficient in coastal and shallow areas. However, there are few comparative studies of the samples retained ... -
Does operational oceanography address the needs of fisheries and applied environmental scientists?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Although many oceanographic data products are now considered operational, continued dialogue between data producers and their user communities is still needed. The fisheries and environmental science communities have often ... -
Does Presence of a Mid-Ocean Ridge Enhance Biomass and Biodiversity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-02)In contrast to generally sparse biological communities in open-ocean settings, seamounts and ridges are perceived as areas of elevated productivity and biodiversity capable of supporting commercial fisheries. We investigated ... -
Does Sex-Selective Predation Stabilize or Destabilize Predator-Prey Dynamics?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-07-16)Background: Little is known about the impact of prey sexual dimorphism on predator-prey dynamics and the impact of sexselective harvesting and trophy hunting on long-term stability of exploited populations. Methodology ... -
Does size matter? A bioeconomic perspective on optimal harvesting when price is size-dependent
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-09-09)Body size is a key parameter influencing demographic characteristics of fish populations as well as market value of landed catch. Yet in bioeconomic modelling, body size is often an overlooked biological and economic ... -
Does the midnight sun increase the feeding rate and hence the growth rate of early juvenile Arcto-Norwegian cod Gadus morhua in the Barents Sea?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000-05-12)The growth rate of Arcto-Norwegian cod juveniles in the Barents Sea during their first 4 mo of life is about twice that of cod juveniles in areas farther south, such as Georges Bank and the Flemish cap. Cod larvae and ... -
Does the thermal component of warm water treatment inflict acute lesions on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Warm water treatment, i.e. exposure to sea water at a temperature of 28–34 °C for 20–30 s, has in recent years been widely used for delousing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in ... -
Domestication leads to increased predation susceptibilit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Domestication involves adapting animals to the human-controlled environment. Genetic changes occurring during the domestication process may manifest themselves in phenotypes that render domesticated animals maladaptive for ... -
Domestication-induced reduction in eye size revealed in multiple common garden experiments: The case of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Domestication leads to changes in traits that are under directional selection in breeding programmes, though unintentional changes in nonproduction traits can also arise. In offspring of escaping fish and any hybrid progeny, ... -
Don't mind if I do: Arctic humpback whales respond to winter foraging opportunities before migration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Migration patterns are fundamentally linked to the spatio-temporal distributions of prey. How migrating animals can respond to changes in their prey's distribution and abundance remains largely unclear. During the last ... -
Dose and dose-rate dependency in the mortality response of Calanus finmarchicus embryos exposed to ultraviolet radiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003-02-04)In previous work, we reported that embryos of Calanus finmarchicus exposed to artificial ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation exhibited high wavelength-dependent mortality. The strongest effects occurred under exposures to ... -
