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 air pollution and greenness on asthma and allergy — over time and across generations
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-17)Background: The prevalence of asthma and allergies have increased in the last decades, likely due to complex interaction of genes and environmental factors; however, causal pathways are still far from understood. Environmental ... -
The effects of alcohol expectancy and intake on slot machine gambling behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-22)Background and aims: Although alcohol intake and gambling often co-occur in related venues, there is conflicting evidence regarding the effects of alcohol expectancy and intake on gambling behavior. We therefore conducted ... -
The effects of alcohol intoxication on neuronal activation at different levels of cognitive load
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-08-22)The aim of this study was to investigate how alcohol intoxication at two blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) affected neuronal activation during increasing levels of cognitive load. For this purpose we used functional ... -

(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 altitude and aerosol on UV radiation
(Journal article, 2006-01-10)Measurements of erythemally weighted UV radiation during about 600 days at different sites in Bolivia and Germany ranging from 550 to 5240 m above sea level have been used to derive the altitude effect AE under cloud-free ... -
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 an Arctic under-ice bloom on solar radiant heating of the water column
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01)The deposition of solar energy in the upper Arctic Ocean depends, among other things, on the composition of the water column. During the N-ICE2015 expedition, a drift in the Arctic pack ice north of Svalbard, an under-ice ... -
Effects of an exclusive breastfeeding intervention for six months on growth patterns of 4–5 year old children in Uganda: the cluster-randomised PROMISE EBF trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-12)Background: Breastfeeding promotion is regarded as one of the most effective interventions to improve child health, and could reduce under-5-mortality by 8 % globally. Few studies have assessed the health outcomes beyond ... -
