Effect of removal of bacteria on the biomass and extracellular carbohydrate productivity of Botryococcus braunii
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Botryococcus braunii CCALA778 is a green microalga that can produce large amounts of extracellular carbohydrates and therefore is a potential host for industrial applications such as materials, food and pharmaceutical ... -
Effect of tag weight on vertical behavior of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts: an overlooked tag effect?
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01) -
The effect of temperature on ability of Lepeophtheirus salmonis to infect and persist on Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ecologically and economically important parasite of salmonid fish. Temperature is a strong influencer of biological processes in salmon lice, with development rate increased ... -
The effect of temperature on growth performance and aerobic metabolic scope in Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In recent years, Arctic char populations in Iceland have declined and the objective of this experiment was to throw further light on these changes by examining the effect of temperature (5, 9, 13, 17, and 21 °C) on the ... -
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gender gap in research productivity within academia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Using measures of research productivity to assess academic performance puts women at a disadvantage because gender roles and unconscious biases, operating both at home and in academia, can affect research productivity. The ... -
Effect of tryptophan enriched diets on aggression in hierarchical groups of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2010-07-01)Aggression in fish hierarchies often leads to one dominant individual monopolizing resources (food/shelter), thus increasing their fitness. Meanwhile individuals in subordinate ranks, endure high stressful conditions, which ... -
Effect of uneven sampling along an environmental gradient on transfer-function performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-27)We investigate the effect that uneven sampling of the environmental gradient has on transfer-function performance using simulated community data. We find that cross-validated estimates of the root mean squared error of ... -
The effect of water currents on post-smolt Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (L.). A welfare approach to exposed aquaculture
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-27)The future development of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) aquaculture is limited by the availability of space and suitable environments along coastal areas. Utilising exposed areas is a possible solution to this problem. ... -
Effects of Agricultural Pesticides in Aquafeeds on Wild Fish Feeding on Leftover Pellets Near Fish Farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-26)Screening has revealed that modern-day feeds used in Atlantic salmon aquaculture might contain trace amounts of agricultural pesticides. To reach slaughter size, salmon are produced in open net pens in the sea. Uneaten ... -
Effects of alkylphenols (C4-C7) on the reproductive system of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-06-15)The work in this thesis is a part of a strategic work at the Institute of Marine Research, which aims to develop a variety of methods to be used in investigating potential endocrine disruption in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). ... -
Effects of altered photoperiod regimes during winter on growth and gonadosomatic index in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) reared in freshwater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The short- and long-term effects of altered photoperiods during winter on growth and final gonadosomatic index (GSI) were investigated in 178 individually tagged 2-year-old smolt Arctic charr from an anadromous strain. The ... -
Effects of ambient oxygen and size-selective mortality on maturation and growth in guppies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Growth, onset of maturity and investment in reproduction are key traits for understanding variation in life-history strategies. Many environmental factors affect variation in these traits, but for fish, hypoxia and ... -
Effects of autonomy and control on student motivation and functioning in higher education
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-04-17)I høyere utdanning er det viktig å tilby en mulighet for utvikling, vekst, læring og velvære for studenter. En essensiell komponent av et vellykket læringsmiljø er at studenter føler seg motiverte. Ved å bruke Selvbestem ... -
Effects of chitin synthesis inhibitor treatment on Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) larvae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-23)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ectoparasite infecting Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), which causes substantial problems to the salmon aquaculture and threatens wild salmon. Chitin synthesis inhibitors ... -
Effects of cholecystokinin (CCK) on gut motility in the stomachless fish ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-07)Cholecystokinin (CCK) is well-known as a key hormone that inhibits stomach emptying and stimulates midgut motility in gastric species. However, the function of CCK related to gut motility in agastric fish, especially in ... -
