Market women’s skills, constraints, and agency in supplying affordable, safe, and high-quality fish in Ghana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)In Ghana, the role of female informal traders (“market women”) in making low-cost smoked and dried fish available in urban and rural marketplaces is the key to explaining the high consumption of fish in the country. However, ... -

Marteilia refringens and Marteilia pararefringens sp. nov. are distinct parasites of bivalves and have different European distributions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Marteilia refringens causes marteiliosis in oysters, mussels and other bivalve molluscs. This parasite previously comprised two species, M. refringens and Marteilia maurini, which were synonymized in 2007 and subsequently ... -
Mass estimates of individual gas-bearing mesopelagic fish from in situ wideband acoustic measurements ground-truthed by biological net sampling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A new acoustic approach to estimate the mass of individual gas-bearing fish at their resident depth at more than 400 m was tested on Cyclothone spp.. Cyclothone are small and slender, and possibly numerically underestimated ... -
Mass sedimentation of Phaeocystis pouchetii in the Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1990-09-06)Mass sedimentation of gelatinous colonies of the prymensiophyte Phaeocystis pouchetii were observed in the upper 100 m of Atlantic water in the central Barents Sea. Sedimentation rates of particulate organic carbon and ... -
Match-mismatch dynamics in the Norwegian-Barents Sea system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)A key process affecting variation in the recruitment of fish into fisheries is the spatio-temporal overlap between prey and predator (match-mismatch hypothesis, MMH). The Northeast Arctic cod Gadus morhua and its dominant ... -

Maternal 3’UTRs: from egg to onset of zygotic transcription in Atlantic cod
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-09-01)Background Zygotic transcription in fish embryos initiates around the time of gastrulation, and all prior development is initiated and controlled by maternally derived messenger RNAs. Atlantic cod egg and embryo viability ... -
Maternal DHA status during pregnancy has a positive impact on infant problem solving: A Norwegian prospective observation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6, n-3) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid necessary for normal brain growth and cognitive development. Seafood and dietary supplements are the primary dietary sources of DHA. This ... -
Maternal influences on offspring size variation and viability in wild European lobster Homarus gammarus
(Working paper, 2010-02-11)In many marine species, large females tend to produce more robust offspring than small females. However, knowledge on maternal influences in decapod crustaceans is limited. This is unfortunate since many decapod populations ... -
Maternal Iodine Status is Associated with Offspring Language Skills in Infancy and Toddlerhood
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Inadequate iodine status affects the synthesis of the thyroid hormones and may impair brain development in fetal life. The aim of this study was to explore the association between maternal iodine status in pregnancy measured ... -
Mating competition between farmed and wild cod Gadus morhua
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-18)Increasing numbers of hatchery-produced fish entering marine environments has caused concern over potential fitness depressions in wild populations, yet no study has addressed the likelihood of hybridisation between farmed ... -
Maturation in the Barents Sea capelin – Contrasting length- and gonad-based metrics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is assumed that maturation in the Barents Sea capelin is length-dependent, and that fish of at least 14 cm will potentially spawn. Current assessment and management models for the stock are based on this assumption of ... -
Maturity changes in Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus: compensatory or evolutionary responses?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004-05-19)The stock of Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus collapsed to a state of commercial extinction in the 1960s, probably due to both overexploitation and unfavourable climatic conditions. Since the 1980s, the ... -
Maximization of fitness by phenological and phenotypic plasticity in range expanding rabbitfishes (Siganidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Global warming is modifying the phenology, life-history traits and biogeography of species around the world. Evidence of these effects have increased over recent decades; however, we still have a poor understanding of the ... -
Maximizing sampling efficiency to detect differences in fish community composition using environmental DNA metabarcoding in subarctic fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Environmental DNA (eDNA) has gained popularity as a tool for ecosystem biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment. Although much progress has been made regarding laboratory and fieldwork protocols, the issue of sampling ... -
