Linking dispersal connectivity to population structure and management boundaries for saithe in the Northeast Atlantic
Myksvoll, Mari Skuggedal; Devine, Jennifer Ann; Quintela, Maria; Geffen, Audrey J.; Nash, Richard David Marriott; Sandvik, Anne Dagrun; Besnier, Francois; Saha, Atal; Dahle, Geir; Jansson, Eeva; Nedreaas, Kjell Harald; Johansen, Torild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Population connectivity is an increasingly important focal area for the understanding of how marine fish populations respond to anthropogenic pressures like climate change and fisheries. Our model species, the saithe ... -
Losing the ‘arms race’: multiresistant salmon lice are dispersed throughout the North Atlantic Ocean
Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Nothing lasts forever, including the effect of chemicals aimed to control pests in food production. As old pesticides have been compromised by emerging resistance, new ones have been introduced and turned the odds back in ... -
The mechanism (Phe362Tyr mutation) behind resistance in Lepeophtheirus salmonis pre-dates organophosphate use in salmon farming
Kaur, Kiranpreet; Besnier, Francois; Glover, Kevin; Nilsen, Frank; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Horsberg, Tor Einar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-27)The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the marine environment, and represents a global challenge to salmon aquaculture. A major issue is the reliance of the industry on a limited number of chemicals ... -
A pedigree-based experiment reveals variation in salinity and thermal tolerance in the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis
Ljungfeldt, Lina; Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Besnier, Francois; Nilsen, Frank; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12)The salmon louse is a highly abundant ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the North Pacific and Atlantic. Widespread and rapid development of resistance to chemical agents used to delouse salmonids on marine farms is now ... -
The Phe362Tyr mutation conveying resistance to organophosphates occurs in high frequencies in salmon lice collected from wild salmon and trout
Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Nilsen, Frank; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Finstad, Bengt; Aspehaug, Vidar; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-27)The parasitic salmon louse, and its resistance to chemical delousing agents, represents one of the largest challenges to the salmon aquaculture industry. We genotyped lice sampled from wild salmon and sea trout throughout ... -
Salmon lice sampled from wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout throughout Norway display high frequencies of the genotype Associated with pyrethroid resistance
Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Finstad, Bengt; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Atlantic salmon Salmo salar aquaculture is based on the use of open-pen sea cages, with the consequence that farmed fish are both recipients and sources of pathogens from surrounding waters. Currently, the parasitic salmon ... -
The salmon louse genome: Copepod features and parasitic adaptations
Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Malde, Ketil; Eichner, Christiane; Dondrup, Michael; Furmanek, Tomasz; Besnier, Francois; Komisarczuk, Anna Zofia; Nuhn, Michael; Dalvin, Sussie; Edvardsen, Rolf Brudvik; Klages, Sven; Huettel, Bruno; Stueber, Kurt; Grotmol, Sindre; Karlsbakk, Egil Erlingsson; Kersey, Paul; Leong, Jong S; Glover, Kevin Alan; Reinhardt, Richard; Lien, Sigbjørn; Jonassen, Inge; Koop, Ben F; Nilsen, Frank (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Copepods encompass numerous ecological roles including parasites, detrivores and phytoplankton grazers. Nonetheless, copepod genome assemblies remain scarce. Lepeophtheirus salmonis is an economically and ecologically ... -
Whole genome resequencing reveals diagnostic markers for investigating global migration and hybridization between minke whale species
Malde, Ketil; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Dahle, Geir; Besnier, Francois; Skaug, Hans J.; Øien, Nils Inge; Solvang, Hiroko Kato; Haug, Tore; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Kanda, Naohisa; Pastene, Luis A.; Jonassen, Inge; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-13)Background: In the marine environment, where there are few absolute physical barriers, contemporary contact between previously isolated species can occur across great distances, and in some cases, may be inter-oceanic. An ...
