      The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth but its nucleotide diversity is moderate (π = 0.3%), only three-fold higher than in human. Here, we present a pedigree-based estimation of the mutation ...
    • The pantophysin gene and its relationship with survival in early life stages of Atlantic cod: Pantophysin in Atlantic cod 

      Otterå, Håkon Magne; Johansen, Torild; Folkvord, Arild; Dahle, Geir; Bingh, Marte Kristine Solvang; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Genetic markers are widely used in fisheries management around the world. While the genetic structure and markers selected are usually based on samples from the wild, very few controlled experiments have been carried out ...
