The importance of social dimension and maturation stage for the probabilistic maturation reaction norm in Poecilia reticulata
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013) -
The influence of permanently submerged macrophytes on sediment mercury distribution, mobility and methylation potential in a brackish Norwegian fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Macrophytes are shown to affect the microbial activity in different aqueous environments, with an altering of the sediment cycling of mercury (Hg) as a potential effect. Here, we investigated how a meadow with permanently ... -
The influence of sea ice, wind speed and marine mammals on Southern Ocean ambient sound
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper describes the natural variability of ambient sound in the Southern Ocean, an acoustically pristine marine mammal habitat. Over a 3-year period, two autonomous recorders were moored along the Greenwich meridian ... -
The influence of vgll3 genotypes on sea age at maturity is altered in farmed mowi strain Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: In Atlantic salmon in the wild, age at maturity is strongly influenced by the vgll3 locus. Under farming conditions, light, temperature and feeding regimes are known significantly advance or delay age at ... -
The initiation of puberty in Atlantic salmon brings about large changes in testicular gene expression that are modulated by the energy status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background When puberty starts before males reach harvest size, animal welfare and sustainability issues occur in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture. Hallmarks of male puberty are an increased proliferation activity ... -
The intensity of horizontal and vertical search in a diving forager the harbour seal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-27)Free ranging foraging animals can vary their searching intensity in response to the profitability of the environment by modifying their movements. Marine diving animals forage in a three dimensional space and searching ... -
The interaction between water currents and salmon swimming behaviour in sea cages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-15)Positioning of sea cages at sites with high water current velocities expose the fish to a largely unknown environmental challenge. In this study we observed the swimming behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at a ... -
The interactive effects of temperature and food consumption on growth of larval Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida): A bioenergetic model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Understanding larval growth, mediated by the interaction of early life traits and environmental conditions, is crucial to elucidate population dynamics. We used a bioenergetic model as an integrative tool to simulate the ... -
The Introduction of thousands of tonnes of glyphosate in the food chain - an evaluation of glyphosate tolerant soybeans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Glyphosate-tolerant (GT) soybeans dominate the world soybean market. These plants have triggered increased use of, as well as increased residues of, glyphosate in soybean products. We present data that show farmers have ... -
The Kelp Forest Challenge: A collaborative global movement to protect and restore 4 million hectares of kelp forests
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Marine kelp forests cover 1/3 of our world's coastlines, are heralded as a nature-based solution to address socio-environmental issues, connect hundreds of millions of people with the ocean, and support a rich web of ... -
The last two millennia: climate, ocean circulation and paleoproductivity inferred from planktic foraminifera, south-western Svalbard margin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We reconstruct climate and changes in water-mass properties in relation to variations in palaeoproductivity at the south-western Svalbard margin throughout the last 2000 years. Environmental conditions in subsurface (ca. ... -
The legacy of Johan Hjort: Challenges and critical periods ‒ past, present and future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The 150th anniversary of Johan Hjort’s birth was celebrated by a symposium held in Bergen on 12–14 June 2019 to take a broad perspective on the origins of, and developments in, fisheries science and thereby examine current ... -
The Lineage-Specific Evolution of Aquaporin Gene Clusters Facilitated Tetrapod Terrestrial Adaptation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-26)A major physiological barrier for aquatic organisms adapting to terrestrial life is dessication in the aerial environment. This barrier was nevertheless overcome by the Devonian ancestors of extant Tetrapoda, but the origin ... -
The major threats to Atlantic salmon in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an economically and culturally important species. Norway has more than 400 watercourses with Atlantic salmon and supports a large proportion of the world’s wild Atlantic salmon. Atlantic ... -
The making of a genetic cline: introgression of oceanic genes into coastal cod populations in the Northeast Atlantic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Abstract: Coastal Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the Northeast Atlantic has seen a continuous decline since the industrialization of the coastal fishery, and management needs to address the spatial and temporal complexities ... -
The marine myxosporean Sigmomyxa sphaerica (Thélohan, 1895) gen. n., comb. n. (syn. Myxidium sphaericum) from garfish (Belone belone (L.)) uses the polychaete Nereis pelagica L. as invertebrate host
