• Are low but statistically significant levels of genetic differentiation in marine fishes ‘biologically meaningful’? A case study of coastal Atlantic cod 

      Knutsen, Halvor; Olsen, Esben Moland; Jorde, Per Erik; Espeland, Sigurd Heiberg; André, Carl (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-29)
      A key question in many genetic studies on marine organisms is how to interpret a low but statistically significant level of genetic differentiation. Do such observations reflect a real phenomenon, or are they caused by ...
    • EST resources and establishment and validation of a 16 k cDNA microarray from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 

      Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Malde, Ketil; Mittelholzer, Christian; Taranger, Geir Lasse; Nilsen, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06-28)
      The Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua, is an important species both for traditional fishery and increasingly also in fish farming. The Atlantic cod is also under potential threat from various environmental changes such as pollution ...
    • Exploration and learning of demand-feeding in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) 

      Nilsson, Jonatan; Torgersen, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-08-15)
      A bite–and–pull demand–feeding system was introduced to groups of cultured cod (Gadus morhua). For half of the groups trigger actuations were rewarded with food, while actuations were unrewarded in the other groups. ...
    • The fate of vitellogenic follicles in experimentally monitored Atlantic cod Gadus morhua (L.): Application to stock assessment 

      Witthames, Peter R.; Thorsen, Anders; Kjesbu, Olav Sigurd (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05)
      In this paper we report on the fate of vitellogenic follicles (VF) as either alpha atretic follicles (αF) or post-ovulatory follicles (POFs) using histology and captive Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in three experiments. In ...
    • Genomic organization and gene expression of the multiple globins in Atlantic cod: conservation of globin-flanking genes in chordates infers the origin of the vertebrate globin clusters 

      Wetten, Ola F.; Nederbragt, Alexander J.; Wilson, Robert C.; Jakobsen, Kjetill S.; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Andersen, Øivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10-20)
      Background: The vertebrate globin genes encoding the α- and β-subunits of the tetrameric hemoglobins are clustered at two unlinked loci. The highly conserved linear order of the genes flanking the hemoglobins provides a ...
    • Recruitment of Atlantic cod stocks in relation to temperature and advection of copepod populations 

      Sundby, Svein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000-11)
      The recruitment of Atlantic cod stocks shows different responses to temperature changes. Cod stocks inhabiting the lower temperature range show generally an increase in recruitment with increasing temperature, while cod ...
    • RNA deep sequencing of the Atlantic cod transcriptome 

      Johansen, Steinar D.; Karlsen, Bård Ove; Furmanek, Tomasz; Andreassen, Morten; Jørgensen, Tor Erik; Bizuayehu, Teshome T.; Breines, Ragna; Emblem, Åse; Kettunen, Päivi; Luukko, Keijo; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Nordeide, Jarle Tryti; Coucheron, Dag H.; Moum, Truls (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05-20)
      The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is an emerging aquaculture species. Efforts to develop and characterize its genomic recourses, including draft-grade genome sequencing, have been initiated by the research community. The ...
    • Spawning stock and recruitment in North Sea cod shaped by food and climate 

      Olsen, Esben Moland; Ottersen, Geir; Llope, Marcos; Chan, Kung-Sik; Beaugrand, Grégory; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-09-01)
      In order to provide better fisheries management and conservation decisions, there is a need to discern the underlying relationship between the spawning stock and recruitment of marine fishes, a relationship which is ...
    • The genome sequence of Atlantic cod reveals a unique immune system 

      Star, Bastiaan; Nederbragt, Alexander J.; Jentoft, Sissel; Grimholt, Unni; Malmstrøm, Martin; Gregers, Tone F.; Rounge, Trine B.; Paulsen, Jonas; Solbakken, Monica H.; Sharma, Animesh; Wetten, Ola F.; Lanzén, Anders; Winer, Roger; Knight, James; Vogel, Jan-Hinnerk; Aken, Bronwen; Andersen, Øivind; Lagesen, Karin; Tooming-Klunderud, Ave; Edvardsen, Rolf B.; Tina, Kirubakaran G.; Espelund, Mari; Nepal, Chirag; Previti, Christopher; Karlsen, Bård Ove; Moum, Truls; Skage, Morten; Berg, Paul R.; Gjøen, Tor; Kuhl, Heiner; Thorsen, Jim; Malde, Ketil; Reinhardt, Richard; Du, Lei; Johansen, Steinar D.; Searle, Steve; Lien, Sigbjørn; Nilsen, Frank; Jonassen, Inge; Omholt, Stig W.; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Jakobsen, Kjetill S. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-08-10)
      Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a large, cold-adapted teleost that sustains long-standing commercial fisheries and incipient aquaculture. Here we present the genome sequence of Atlantic cod, showing evidence for complex ...
    • Thermal niche of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua: limits, tolerance and optima
