Disease interaction and pathogens exchange between wild and farmed fish populations with special reference to Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-21)Norway has the largest salmon-farming industry in the world, an industry that is still growing, and in recent years production of marine species like Atlantic cod has also increased. At the same time, Norway has the world's ... -
EST resources and establishment and validation of a 16 k cDNA microarray from Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(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 ... -
Evolutionary principles and their practical application
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-02-17)Evolutionary principles are now routinely incorporated into medicine and agriculture. Examples include the design of treatments that slow the evolution of resistance by weeds, pests, and pathogens, and the design of breeding ... -
Exploration and learning of demand-feeding in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(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
(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 ... -
Feeding preference of recaptured Atlantic salmon Salmo salar following simulated escape from fish pens during autumn
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-12-21)Escapes of farmed fish from coastal farms around the world are believed to have genetic and ecological consequences for wild fish populations. Each year there are numerous escapes of adult farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo ... -
Forensic identification of severely degraded Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) tissues
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-03)Aquaculture is a globally important and rapidly growing industry. It contributes positively to the economy and sustainability of coastal communities, but it is not without regulatory challenges. These challenges are diverse, ... -
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
(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 ... -
Investigating the drivers of maturation dynamics in Barents Sea haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-08)Changes in size and age at maturation of many exploited fish stocks have been investigated and the influences of environmental factors and exploitation have often been inferred, but not explicitly investigated. Here we ... -
Learning and anticipatory behaviour in a “sit-and-wait” predator: the Atlantic halibut
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-03)We studied the learning capacities and anticipatory behaviour in a “sit-and-wait” predatory fish, the Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus. In Experiment 1 two groups of halibut received series of light flashes ... -
Long-term changes in the total egg production of Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus (L.)—Implications of variations in population structure and condition factor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05)The reproductive potential of Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) was estimated in terms of total egg production (TEP) for the period 1935–2005, using a model where spawning stock numbers (SSN)-, weight- ... -
Mechanisms regulating oocyte recruitment and skippedspawning in Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-09)To examine mechanisms that affect fecundity, atresia and skipped spawning in Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua L.), we conducted an experiment where wild-caught cod (>60 cm) kept under restricted food regimes were subjected ... -
Mortality of mackerel (Scomber scombrus L.) after pursing and slipping from a purse seine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-10)A new method was used to study the effect of crowding and subsequent slipping from a purse seine on the mortality of Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus L.). Mackerel were allowed to swim from a purse seine through a ... -
RNA deep sequencing of the Atlantic cod transcriptome
(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 ... -
Stereological calibration of the profile method to quickly estimate atresia levels in fish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-05)The (physical) ‘disector method’, a frequently cited stereological technique, has so far received little attention within fish fecundity studies, although it can be used to provide unbiased, assumption-free data on levels ... -
Tenacibaculum sp. associated with winter ulcers in sea-reared Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-05-09)Coldwater-associated ulcers, i.e. winter ulcers, in seawater-reared Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. have been reported in Norway since the late 1980s, and Moritella viscosa has been established as an important factor in ... -
The genome sequence of Atlantic cod reveals a unique immune system
(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
