Genetic screening of farmed Atlantic salmon escapees demonstrates that triploid fish display reduced migration to freshwater
Glover, Kevin; Bos, J. B.; Urdal, Kurt; Madhun, Abdullah Sami; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Unneland, Laila; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Skaala, Øystein; Skilbrei, Ove Tommy; Tang, Y.; Wennevik, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Each year, hundreds of thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon escape from fish farms into the wild. Some of these escapees enter freshwater, and manage to interbreed with native populations. To hinder further genetic introgression ... -
Genotyping errors in a calibrated DNA register: implications for identification of individuals
Haaland, Øystein; Glover, Kevin; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Skaug, Hans J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-20)Background: The use of DNA methods for the identification and management of natural resources is gaining importance. In the future, it is likely that DNA registers will play an increasing role in this development. ... -
Hybrids between common and Antarctic minke whales are fertile and can back-cross
Glover, Kevin; Kanda, Naohisa; Haug, Tore; Pastene, Luis A.; Øien, Nils Inge; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Skaug, Hans J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04-15)Background: Minke whales are separated into two genetically distinct species: the Antarctic minke whale found in the southern hemisphere, and the common minke whale which is cosmopolitan. The common minke whale is further ... -
Investigating population genetic structure in a highly mobile marine organism: The minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata acutorostrata in the North East Atlantic
Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Skaug, Hans J.; Øien, Nils Inge; Haug, Tore; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Solvang, Hiroko Kato; Pampoulie, Christophe; Kanda, Naohisa; Pastene, Luis A.; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)Inferring the number of genetically distinct populations and their levels of connectivity is of key importance for the sustainable management and conservation of wildlife. This represents an extra challenge in the marine ... -
“Real-time” genetic monitoring of a commercial fishery on the doorstep of an MPA reveals unique insights into the interaction between coastal and migratory forms of the Atlantic cod
Johansen, Torild; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Seliussen, Bjørghild Breistein; Nedreaas, Kjell Harald; Dahle, Geir; Glover, Kevin; Kvalsund, Roger; Aglen, Asgeir (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)With the decline of many of the world’s fisheries, increased regulation, including marine protected areas (MPA), forms an increasingly important role in promoting sustainable resource use. Here, we present a novel “real-time” ... -
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 ...
