• Feeding ecology of Benthosema glaciale across the North Atlantic 

      Knutsen, Tor; Strand, Espen; Klevjer, Thor A.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Broms, Cecilie; Sunde, Synne Myhre; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; García-Seoane, Eva; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The glacier lanternfish Benthosema glaciale is a key myctophid with a wide distribution in the northern Atlantic. It is a species that has a strong vertical migration capacity and have the potential to move between the ...
    • Genetic structure of Sufflogobius bibarbatus in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem using microsatellite markers 

      Gunawickrama, Kristogu Baduge Suneetha; Delaval, Aurelien Nicolas; Johansen, Torild; van der Plas, Anja; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The bearded goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus is an abundant endemic small fish species on the continental shelf of the northern Benguela. The goby habitat is characterised by generally low bottom oxygen concentrations that ...
    • Micronekton biomass distribution, improved estimates across four north Atlantic basins 

      Klevjer, Thor A.; Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Knutsen, Tor; Strand, Espen; Korneliussen, Rolf; Dupont, Nicolas; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Wiebe, Peter H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Distribution of micronekton was investigated during early summer of 2013, using data from a cruise covering the central parts of four north Atlantic basins, the Norwegian Sea (NS), Iceland Sea (ICS), Irminger Sea (IRS), ...
    • Multi-decadal warming of Atlantic water and associated decline of dissolved oxygen in a deep fjord 

      Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Aure, Jan; Johansen, Per-Otto; Johnsen, Geir Helge; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Previous studies have shown decline in dissolved oxygen of the ocean basins. A hypothesis for this development is that ocean warming through increased stratification has caused reduced ventilation of the interior ocean. ...
    • Negative impacts of the sea lice prophylactic emamectin benzoate on the survival of hatchery released salmon smolts in rivers 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Stöger, Elisabeth; Madhun, Abdullah; Helle, Turid Myklebust; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a prophylactic pharmaceutical used to protect Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts migrating out of rivers and into the ocean against sea lice parasites. Randomized control trials comparing the ...
    • Size-selective harvesting affects the immunocompetence of guppies exposed to the parasite Gyrodactylus 

      Bartuseviciute, Vitalija; Pauli, Beatriz Diaz; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Harvesting is typically size-selective, targeting large individuals. This is expected to lead to reduced average body size and earlier maturation (i.e. faster life histories). Such changes can also affect traits seemingly ...
    • Structure and functioning of four North Atlantic ecosystems - A comparative study 

      Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Klevjer, Thor A.; Drinkwater, Kenneth F.; Strand, Espen; Naustvoll, Lars Johan; Wiebe, Peter H.; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Knutsen, Tor; Sundby, Svein; Slotte, Aril; Dupont, Nicolas; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Korneliussen, Rolf; Huse, Geir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The epi- and mesopelagic ecosystems of four sub-polar ocean basins, the Labrador, Irminger, Iceland and Norwegian seas, were surveyed during two legs from Bergen, Norway, to Nuuk, Greenland, and back to Bergen. The survey ...
    • Winning ways with hydrogen sulphide on the Namibian shelf 

      Currie, Bronwen; Utne-Palm, Anne Christine; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The shelf sediments off Namibia are some of the most unusual and extreme marine habitats because of their extremely high hydrogen sulphide concentrations. High surface productivity of the northern Benguela upwelling system ...
