Aquaculture-driven evolution of the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) mtDNA genome
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Widespread resistance towards pyrethroids, a pesticide that has been extensively used in salmonid aquaculture to control sea lice, is reported in the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). The resistance mechanism has ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution of the salmon louse mtDNA genome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Resistance toward the antiparasitic pyrethroid, deltamethrin, is reported in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis), a persistent ectoparasite of farmed and wild salmonids. The resistance mechanism ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution: distribution of pyrethroid resistance in the salmon louse throughout the North Atlantic in the years 2000–2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The parasitic salmon louse, and its documented resistance to chemotherapeutants, represents the most persistent environmental challenge to global salmonid aquaculture. We used a genetic marker associated with pyrethroid ... -
Aquaporin evolution in fishes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-07-26)Aquaporins represent a primordial group of transmembrane solvent channels that have been documented throughout the living biota. This facet alone emphasizes the positive selection pressure for proteins associated with ... -
Aquaporin splice variation differentially modulates channel function during marine teleost egg hydration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is a developmentally regulated adaptive mechanism that co-occurs with meiosis resumption in marine teleosts. It provides the early embryos with vital water until osmoregulatory systems ... -
The Arabidopsis (ASHH2) CW domain binds monomethylated K4 of the histone H3 tail through conformational selection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Chromatin post‐translational modifications are thought to be important for epigenetic effects on gene expression. Methylation of histone N‐terminal tail lysine residues constitutes one of many such modifications, executed ... -
Archaeological bird remains from Norway as a means to identify long-term patterns in a Northern European avifauna
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-06-18)Birds are currently facing a biodiversity crisis. Seabirds, birds in agricultural landscapes, and montane birds are particularly vulnerable to extinction. Whilst their modern distributions are well studied, how past events ... -
The Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Vent Fields - A valuable Resource for Marine Bioprospecting?
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-05-25)The past decade the awareness for sustainability has come more and more into focus of society in terms of a need for eco-friendlier processes and renewable energies, new and better pharmaceuticals, and agricultural- and ... -
An Arctic natural oil seep investigated from space to the seafloor
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Due to climate change, decreasing ice cover and increasing industrial activities, Arctic marine ecosystems are expected to face higher levels of anthropogenic stress. To sustain healthy and productive ocean ecosystems, it ... -
Are synchronous chats a silver lining of emergency remote instruction? Text-based chatting is disproportionately favored by women in a non-majors introductory biology course
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a reimagining of many aspects of higher education, including how instructors interact with their students and how they encourage student participation. Text-based ... -
Arsenic speciation and arsenic feed-to-fish transfer in Atlantic salmon fed marine low trophic feeds based blue mussel and kelp
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Aquaculture aims to reduce the environmental and climate footprints of feed production. Consequently, low trophic marine (LTM) resources such as blue mussels and kelp are potential candidates to be used as ... -
Artssuksesjon av planteplankton i Raunefjorden våren 2010. Reguleringsmekanismer og elementsammensetning ved røntgenfluorescens
(Master thesis, 2011-10-03)Denne studien av artssuksesjon og reguleringsmekanismer er satt sammen av to deler. Den ene delen består av et tokt til Svinøysnittet, mens den andre er en serie av prøvetakinger og målinger i Raunefjorden i Hordaland. ... -
Assessing acidity impacts in Nordic lakes and streams: Development of a macroinvertebrate-based multimetric index to quantify degradation and recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)1) Emissions of acidifying compounds have decreased over several decades, nevertheless acidification impacts on aquatic ecosystems remains as a regionally important environmental driver resulting in biodiversity loss and ... -
Assessing amino acid solubility of black soldier fly larvae meal in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in vivo and in vitro
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In vitro and in vivo methods were used to evaluate amino acids solubility of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal and two experimental diets (reference and test diets) for Atlantic salmon. The current study used in vitro ... -
Assessing and comparing climatic control on distribution and reproduction of alpine and lowland species in the subalpine habitat of western Norway.
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-02-06)Aims and background: Species range shift is among the most well-documented responses to climate change. As a result, a growing number of studies model species climatic niches to predict how species ranges may displace in ... -
Assessing mackerel behaviour following crowding-induced stress in purse seine fisheries
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)The practice of slipping in purse seine fisheries has been shown to cause high levels of delayed mortality in released fish. This unaccounted mortality could lead to bias in stock assessments, and brings the sustainability ... -
Assessing microplastic as a vector for chemical entry into fish larvae using a novel tube-feeding approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A tube-feeding model for administering microplastic (MP, Ø = 30 μm) spheres to fish larvae was employed to quantify the uptake of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) into the larval body through a single administration ... -
