1H NMR metabolic profiling of cod (Gadus morhua) larvae: potential effects of temperature and diet composition during early developmental stages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-06)Marine aquaculture offers a great source of protein for the increasing human population, and farming of, for example, Atlantic salmon is a global industry. Atlantic cod farming however, is an example of a promising industry ... -
A bio-economic analysis of harvest control rules for the Northeast Arctic cod fishery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-12-12)Harvest control rules (HCRs) have been implemented for many fisheries worldwide. However, in most instances, those HCRs are not based on the explicit feedbacks between stock properties and economic considerations. This ... -
A brief history of climate – the northern seas from the Last Glacial Maximum to global warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-08-06)The understanding of climate and climate change is fundamentally concerned with two things: a well-defined and sufficiently complete climate record to be explained, for example of observed temperature, and a relevant ... -
A catch limitation device to avoid excessive catches in the blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) Northeast Atlantic pelagic trawl fishery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) is harvested in the Northeast Atlantic by a multinational fleet of pelagic trawlers. Occasionally, vessels take catches which exceed their remaining holding capacity and in extreme ... -
A chromosome-level assembly of the Atlantic herring genome-detection of a supergene and other signals of selection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The Atlantic herring is a model species for exploring the genetic basis for ecological adaptation, due to its huge population size and extremely low genetic differentiation at selectively neutral loci. However, such studies ... -
A combination of genetic and phenotypic characterization of spring- and autumn-spawning herring suggests gene flow between populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) has complex population structure and dynamics including diverse life histories and spawning times with spring and autumn spawning as the most common modes. Originally, spawning herring ... -
A common garden design reveals population-specific variability in potential impacts of hybridization between populations of farmed and wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-27)Released individuals can have negative impacts on native populations through various mechanisms, including competition, disease transfer and introduction of maladapted gene complexes. Previous studies indicate that the ... -
A common-garden experiment to quantify evolutionary processes in copepods: the case of emamectin benzoate resistance in the parasitic sea louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-19)Background The development of pesticide resistance represents a global challenge to food production. Specifically for the Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry, parasitic sea lice and their developing resistance to delousing ... -
A comparison of gene transcription profiles of domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at early life stages, reared under controlled conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-10-09)Background Atlantic salmon have been subject to domestication for approximately ten generations, beginning in the early 1970s. This process of artificial selection will have created various genetic differences between ... -
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 contrastive learning approach for individual re-identification in a wild fish population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)In both terrestrial and marine ecology, physical tagging is a frequently used method to study population dynamics and behavior. However, such tagging techniques are increasingly being replaced by individual re-identification ... -
A dataset of direct observations of sea ice drift and waves in ice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Variability in sea ice conditions, combined with strong couplings to the atmosphere and the ocean, lead to a broad range of complex sea ice dynamics. More in-situ measurements are needed to better identify the phenomena ... -
A first assessment of glyphosate, 2,4-D and Cry proteins in surface water of South Africa
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Agriculture plays a vital role in the South African economy, as well as in the production of maize for food. Genetically modified maize is transformed to encode for crystalline (Cry) proteins found in Bacillus thuringiensis ... -
A first ecological coherent assessment of eutrophication across the North-East Atlantic waters (2015-2020)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023) -
A first fecundity study of the female snow crab Chionoecetes opilio Fabricius, 1788 (Decapoda: Brachyura: Oregoniidae) of the newly established population in the Barents Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The snow crab Chionoecetes opilioFabricius, 1788 is a newly established species in the Barents Sea. Since the first individuals were recorded in 1996, the population has increased and a fishery was initiated in 2012. Mature ... -
A fluke encounter: first record of the blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) within the central North Sea, United Kingdom
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite holding the accolade as the largest animal ever to live on planet earth and ubiquitously inhabiting the world's major oceans, an acute paucity of information surrounds the geographical distribution and migration ... -
A framework for the development of a global standardised marine taxon reference image database (SMarTaR-ID) to support image-based analyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Video and image data are regularly used in the field of benthic ecology to document biodiversity. However, their use is subject to a number of challenges, principally the identification of taxa within the images without ... -
