• Atlantic salmon populations invaded by farmed escapees: quantifying genetic introgression with a Bayesian approach and SNPs 

      Glover, Kevin A.; Pertoldi, Cino; Besnier, Francois; Wennevik, Vidar; Kent, Matthew; Skaala, Øystein (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 ...
    • Genetic mixed-stock analysis of Atlantic herring populations in a mixed feeding area 

      Bekkevold, Dorte; Clausen, Lotte A. W.; Mariani, Stefano; André, Carl; Hatfield, Emma M. C.; Torstensen, Else; Ryman, Nils; Carvalho, Gary R.; Ruzzante, Daniel E. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-12-05)
      Determining spatio-temporal distributions of fish populations is of interest to marine ecology, in general, and to fisheries science in particular. Genetic mixed-stock analysis is routinely applied in several anadromous ...
    • A length-based hypothesis for feeding migrations in pelagic fish 

      Nøttestad, Leif; Giske, Jarl; Holst, Jens Christian; Huse, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 1999)
      We evaluated the costs and benefits of long-distance horizontal migration by pelagic planktivores, Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou), mackerel (Scomber scombrus), and capelin (Mallotus ...
    • Migration of Antarctic Minke Whales to the Arctic 

      Glover, Kevin A.; Kanda, Naohisa; Haug, Tore; Pastene, Luis A.; Øien, Nils; Goto, Mutsuo; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Skaug, Hans Julius (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-22)
      The Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis), and the common minke whale found in the North Atlantic (Balaenoptera acutorostrata acutorostrata), undertake synchronized seasonal migrations to feeding areas at their ...
    • Migration patterns in Norwegian spring-spawning herring: why young fish swim away from the wintering area in late summer 

      Kvamme, Cecilie; Nøttestad, Leif; Fernö, Anders; Misund, Ole Arve; Dommasnes, Are; Axelsen, Bjørn Erik; Dalpadado, Padmini; Melle, Webjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003-03-04)
      Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus make extensive feeding migrations in the Norwegian Sea during summer. At the end of the feeding season herring may meet conflicting demands between moving to areas with ...
    • Parental migration, climate and thermal exposure of larvae: spawning in southern regions gives Northeast Arctic cod a warm start 

      Opdal, Anders Frugård; Vikebø, Frode; Fiksen, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-10-20)
      Temporal variability in environmental conditions met by early life stages is considered a key driver of fluctuations in recruitment and abundance of fish stocks. Variability in spawning grounds selected by the parental ...
