A conservation plan for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) in a region with intensive industrial use of aquatic habitats, the Hardangerfjord, western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-15)Extensive use of aquatic habitats, mainly for hydropower and aquaculture, has a negative impact on anadromous salmonid populations of the Hardangerfjord region, western Norway. High infection levels of salmon lice, and ... -
A new intracellular bacterium, Candidatus Similichlamydia labri sp. nov. (Chlamydiaceae) producing epitheliocysts in ballan wrasse, Labrus bergylta (Pisces, Labridae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-22)Certain wrasse species (Labridae) are used as cleaner fish in salmon farms on the Norwegian coast, reducing salmon louse intensities. The pathogen repertoire of wrasse in Norway is poorly known, and the objective of the ... -
Acoustic observations of dusky dolphins Lagenorhynchus obscurus hunting Cape horse mackerel Trachurus capensis off Namibia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-16)Predator–prey interactions of mammals and their fish prey in marine ecosystems are rarely identified and recorded. We document for the first time the underwater behaviour of hunting dusky dolphins Lagenorhynchus obscurus ... -
Acoustic observations of jellyfish in the Namibian Benguela
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001-01-26)Multi-frequency acoustic data (18, 38 and 120 kHz) were collected in conjunction with pelagic trawl sampling for gelatinous macrozooplankton during a cruise to the Namibian Benguela in September 1999. Sampling focused ... -
Activity patterns of wild European lobster Homarus gammarus in coastal marine reserves: implications for future reserve design
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-16)European lobster Homarus gammarus in Norway has been in decline over the last 30 to 40 yr, and the species is currently red listed according to International Union for Conservation of Nature criteria. In 2006, experimental ... -
Adult recaptures of farmed Atlantic salmon post-smolts allowed to escape during summer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-21)The influence of time of escape on survival to adulthood was tested in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolt and post-smolts. Escape events were simulated in a small fjord in western Norway during and after the natural ... -
An industry-scale mass marking technique for tracing farmed fish escapees
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-04)Farmed fish escape and enter the environment with subsequent effects on wild populations. Reducing escapes requires the ability to trace individuals back to the point of escape, so that escape causes can be identified and ... -
Anaesthesia of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) – Effect of pre-anaesthetic sedation, and importance of body weight and water temperature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-30)The efficacy of the anaesthetic agents benzocaine, metacaine (MS-222), metomidate, 2-phenoxyethanol, quinaldine and isoeugenol was studied in Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). Fish with an average body weight ... -
Antibiotic uptake by cultured Atlantic cod leucocytes and effect on intracellular Francisella noatunensis subsp. noatunensis replication
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-02-04)The granuloma disease caused by Francisella noatunensis subsp. noatunensis in farmed Atlantic cod has not been successfully treated by use of antibacterials, even when antibacterial resistance testing indicates a sufficient ... -

Atlantic salmon populations invaded by farmed escapees: quantifying genetic introgression with a Bayesian approach and SNPs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-23)Background Many native Atlantic salmon populations have been invaded by domesticated escapees for three decades or longer. However, thus far, the cumulative level of gene-flow that has occurred from farmed to wild salmon ... -
Baleen whale distributions and prey associations in the Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-03-28)We investigated the spatial associations between minke Balaenoptera acutorostrata, fin B. physalus and humpback Megaptera novaeangliae whales and their prey in the Barents Sea in late summer of 2003 to 2007. During these ... -
Behavior of individual mesopelagic fish in acoustic scattering layers of Norwegian fjords
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008-05-22)Mesopelagic acoustic scattering layers (SLs) in 2 fjords were studied from a stationary research vessel. Diel vertical movements of SLs were assessed by hull-mounted transducers, while in situ behavior of individuals ... -
Blind dating—mate finding in planktonic copepods. I. Tracking the pheromone trail of Centropages typicus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-09-16)Mate-finding behaviour in the marine copepod Centropages typicus was investigated by 3-dimensional video analysis. Females leave a chemical trail in their wake and a male intercepting a fresh trail initiates a characteristic ... -
Blind dating—mate finding in planktonic copepods. II. The pheromone cloud of Pseudocalanus elongatus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-09-16)Receptive females of Pseudocalanus elongatus, like many other planktonic copepods, produce pheromones to signal their presence and position to males, and thus enhance the rate of mate encounter. By means of 3D video ... -
Blind dating—mate finding in planktonic copepods. III. Hydromechanical communication in Acartia tonsa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005-09-16)Mate-finding behaviour in the marine copepod Acartia tonsa was examined by video analysis. A. tonsa appears to depend on hydromechanical signals in the location of mates, detected at distances of up to 5 or 7 mm. Series ... -
