Maternal DHA status during pregnancy has a positive impact on infant problem solving: A Norwegian prospective observation study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6, n-3) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid necessary for normal brain growth and cognitive development. Seafood and dietary supplements are the primary dietary sources of DHA. This ... -
Maternal Iodine Status is Associated with Offspring Language Skills in Infancy and Toddlerhood
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Inadequate iodine status affects the synthesis of the thyroid hormones and may impair brain development in fetal life. The aim of this study was to explore the association between maternal iodine status in pregnancy measured ... -
Maturation in the Barents Sea capelin – Contrasting length- and gonad-based metrics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is assumed that maturation in the Barents Sea capelin is length-dependent, and that fish of at least 14 cm will potentially spawn. Current assessment and management models for the stock are based on this assumption of ... -
Maximization of fitness by phenological and phenotypic plasticity in range expanding rabbitfishes (Siganidae)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Global warming is modifying the phenology, life-history traits and biogeography of species around the world. Evidence of these effects have increased over recent decades; however, we still have a poor understanding of the ... -
Maximizing sampling efficiency to detect differences in fish community composition using environmental DNA metabarcoding in subarctic fjords
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Environmental DNA (eDNA) has gained popularity as a tool for ecosystem biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment. Although much progress has been made regarding laboratory and fieldwork protocols, the issue of sampling ... -
Me, myself and I -Teachers’ self-motivation and sense of responsibility determine the use of active learning methods

Measurement error model for the Norwegian common minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata acutorostrata) surveys 2008-2013
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A discrete measurement error model for radial distance and angle to detected objects in line transect surveys is considered. This approach directly quantifies the effect of measurement error on the estimated effective strip ... -
Measurements of underwater noise radiated by commercial ships at a cabled ocean observatory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Measurements of underwater noise radiated under ship normal operations are presented. The acoustic data, from the cabled ocean observatory, are analyzed under each identified ship passage, which was obtained by the Automatic ... -
Measuring Adversarial Robustness using a Voronoi-Epsilon Adversary
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Previous studies on robustness have argued that there is a tradeoff between accuracy and adversarial accuracy. The tradeoff can be inevitable even when we neglect generalization. We argue that the tradeoff is inherent to ... -
Measuring distribution and density of sprat in Årdalsfjorden with a kayak drone - 15-16 August 2020
(Rapport fra havforskningen;2020 - 28, Research report, 2020)Sprat is a key species in several Norwegian fjords, as an important prey for fish, sea mammals and sea birds. The sprat populations are monitored with routine acoustic-trawl surveys using a large research vessel, which ... -
Mechanisms of Ocean Heat Anomalies in the Norwegian Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Ocean heat content in the Norwegian Sea exhibits pronounced variability on interannual to decadal time scales. These ocean heat anomalies are known to influence Arctic sea ice extent, marine ecosystems, and continental ... -
Mechanisms underlying recent Arctic atlantification
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Recent warming and reduced sea ice concentrations in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean are the main signatures of ongoing Arctic “Atlantification.” The mechanisms driving the warming trends are nevertheless still ... -
Mercury bioaccumulation pathways in tusk (Brosme brosme) from Sognefjord, Norway: Insights from C and N isotopes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Seafood is the main source of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure for humans and elevated total mercury (Hg) concentrations have been reported in marine fish from Norwegian fjords compared with offshore areas. Hg in tusk fillets ... -
The mercury science-policy interface: History, evolution and progress of the Minamata Convention
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mercury (Hg) pollution is an important environmental and public health issue that has garnered significant interest from policy makers and the global regulatory community. Consumption of seafood is the primary mechanism ... -
Meroplankton Diversity, Seasonality and Life-History Traits Across the Barents Sea Polar Front Revealed by High-Throughput DNA Barcoding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In many species of marine benthic invertebrates, a planktonic larval phase plays a critical role in dispersal. Very little is known about the larval biology of most species, however, in part because species identification ... -
Mesopelagic fish gas bladder elongation, as estimated from wideband acoustic backscattering measurements
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Backscattered acoustic energy from a target varies with frequency and carries information about its material properties, size, shape, and orientation. Gas-bearing organisms are strong reflectors of acoustic energy at the ... -
Mesopelagic flesh shear viscosity estimation from in situ broadband backscattering measurements by a viscous–elastic model inversion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)In fisheries acoustics, target strength (TS) is a key parameter in converting acoustic measurements to biological information such as biomass. Modelling is a versatile tool to estimate TS of marine organisms. For swimbladdered ... -
Mesopelagic Species and Their Poential Contribution to Food and Feed Security - A Case Study from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The projected increase in global population will demand a major increase in global food production. There is a need for more biomass from the ocean as future food and feed, preferentially from lower trophic levels. In this ... -
A meta-analysis on the nutritional value of insects in aquafeeds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A major challenge for development of sustainable aquafeeds is its dependence on fish meal and fish oil. Similarly, it is unwanted to include more plant ingredients which adds more pressure on resources like arable land, ...
