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 ... -
Effects of chronic and periodic exposures to ammonia on growth and eye health in juvenile Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)
(Master thesis, 2010-02-20)The effect of chronic and periodic peaks of un-ionised ammonia (UIA-N) exposure on growth and eye health in juvenile Atlantic halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus, were examined. Fish with mean initial weight 51.7 g (SD, ... -
Effects of climate change on the distribution of plant species and plant functional strategies on the Canary Islands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aim Oceanic islands possess unique floras with high proportions of endemic species. Island floras are expected to be severely affected by changing climatic conditions as species on islands have limited distribution ranges ... -
Effects of cooking and freezing practices on the distribution of cadmium in different tissues of the brown crab (Cancer pagurus)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)Increased cadmium concentrations in claw meat were demonstrated after cooking and freezing practices of whole brown crabs. This was investigated in crabs from two different locations along the Norwegian coast, one with ... -
Effects of copepod size on fish growth: A model based on data for North Sea sandeel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-03)In productive marine off-shore ecosystems, the flow of energy from zooplankton to large predators is channeled through a few species of short-lived, highly abundant schooling planktivorous fish. There are indications that ... -
Effects of cortisol on the intestinal mucosal immune response during cohabitant challenge with IPNV in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-08)Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) causes high incidence of disease in salmonids during the first period after SW transfer. During this period as well as during periods of stress, cortisol levels increase and ... -
