Spatial and temporal variability of ice algal trophic markers—with recommendations about their application
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Assessing the relative importance of sea ice algal-based production is often vital for studies about climate change impacts on Arctic marine ecosystems. Several types of lipid biomarkers and stable isotope ratios are widely ... -
Influence of glacial water and carbonate minerals on wintertime sea-ice biogeochemistry and the CO2 system in an Arctic fjord in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The effect of freshwater sources on wintertime sea-ice CO2 processes was studied from the glacier front to the outer Tempelfjorden, Svalbard, in sea ice, glacier ice, brine and snow. March–April 2012 was mild, and the fjord ... -
Silicon isotopes in an EMIC's ocean: Sensitivity to runoff, iron supply, and climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The isotopic composition of Si in biogenic silica (BSi), such as opal buried in the oceans' sediments, has changed over time. Paleorecords suggest that the isotopic composition, described in terms of δ30Si, was generally ... -
Catch pattern and size selectivity for a gear designed to prevent fish injuries during the capture process in a North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In the North-East Atlantic demersal trawl fishery targeting cod and haddock, the interest on fishing gear designs that preserve fish quality and welfare has grown. However, the gear configurations tested so far imply ... -
Targeted mutagenesis of Δ5 and Δ6 fatty acyl desaturases induce dysregulation of lipid metabolism in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020) -
Evaluation of sampling strategies for age determination of cod (Gadus morhua) sampled at the North Sea International Bottom Trawl Survey
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The North Sea cod stock assessment is based on indices of abundance-at-age from fishery-independent bottom trawl surveys. The age structure of the catch is estimated by sampling fish for otoliths collection in a length-stratified ... -
Age of European silver eels during a period of declining abundance in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is critically endangered throughout its range. Knowledge about age distribution of future spawners (silver eels) is essential to monitor the status and contribute to the recovery of ... -
The effect of temperature on ability of Lepeophtheirus salmonis to infect and persist on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ecologically and economically important parasite of salmonid fish. Temperature is a strong influencer of biological processes in salmon lice, with development rate increased ... -
Sound production in male and female corkwing wrasses and its relation to visual behaviour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In fish, social interactions are commonly accompanied by acoustic signalling. Males have been found to produce sounds in a large range of species, but female sounds have received considerably less attention. But even in ... -
Genetic population structure of the monogenean parasite Gyrodactylus thymalli and its host European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) in a large Norwegian lake
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Understanding how populations are structured in space and time is a central question in evolutionary biology. Parasites and their hosts are assumed to evolve together, however, detailed understanding of mechanisms leading ... -
New validation method for hydrodynamic fjord models applied in the Hardangerfjord, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We introduce a new intuitive evaluation method for comparison of fjord model results and current measurements. The approach is tested using high resolution model simulations and measurements in the Hardangerfjord, a large ... -
Evidence of energy and nutrient transfer from invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) spawners to juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) in northern Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recent large influxes of non-native Pacific pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) to North European rivers have raised concern over their potential negative impacts on native salmonids and recipient ecosystems. The eggs and ... -
Upeneus floros, a new goatfish from South Africa and Mozambique, with updated taxonomic accounts for U. guttatus and U. pori and a key to Western Indian Ocean Upeneus species (Mullidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The highly diverse goatfish genus Upeneus (Mullidae) requires enhanced attention regarding the possible occurrence of undescribed species in insufficiently explored regions. This study focuses on the South-Western Indian ... -
A transcriptomic analysis of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon lenses with and without cataracts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To avoid negative environmental impacts of escapees and potential inter-breeding with wild populations, the Atlantic salmon farming industry has and continues to extensively test triploid fish that are sterile. However, ... -
Vitamin D supplementation during winter: Effects on stress resilience in a randomized control trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Vitamin D status may be important for stress resilience. This study investigated the effects of vitamin D supplements during winter on biological markers of stress resilience such as psychophysiological activity, serotonin, ... -
Cyclic hypoxia exposure accelerates the progression of amoebic gill disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Amoebic gill disease (AGD), caused by the amoeba Neoparamoeba perurans, has led to considerable economic losses in every major Atlantic salmon producing country, and is increasing in frequency. The most serious infections ... -
Increasing dietary n-6 FA while keeping n-3 FA stable decreases EPA in polar lipids of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is an increased use of vegetable oils containing n-6 fatty acids (FA) in aquafeeds, and several trials indicate that there might be an increased requirement of EPA and DHA for Atlantic salmon when they are fed higher ... -
Century-long cod otolith biochronology reveals individual growth plasticity in response to temperature
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Otolith biochronologies combine growth records from individual fish to produce long-term growth sequences, which can help to disentangle individual from population-level responses to environmental variability. This study ... -
Autosomal sdY pseudogenes explain discordances between phenotypic sex and DNA marker for sex identification in Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Despite the key role that sex-determination plays in evolutionary processes, it is still poorly understood in many species. In salmonids, which are among the best studied fishes, the master sex-determining gene sexually ... -
Green gravel: a novel restoration tool to combat kelp forests decline.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Kelp forests are in decline globally and large-scale intervention could be required to halt the loss of these valuable ecosystems. To date kelp forest restoration has had limited success and been expensive and unable to ...
