Advances in herring biology: from simple to complex, coping with plasticity and adaptability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)At least two centuries of investigations on herring have been absorbed by scientific journals, and applied and fundamental research has produced groundbreaking concepts in fisheries, population biology, and marine ecology. ... -
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 ... -
The bio-economic effects of artificial reefs: mixed evidence from Shandong, China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Artificial reefs are used to protect coastal habitats and rebuild fisheries. This engineering approach to fisheries management has gained popularity in many coastal areas, including China. In Shandong province alone, over ... -
A combination of genetic and phenotypic characterization of spring- and autumn-spawning herring suggests gene flow between populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) has complex population structure and dynamics including diverse life histories and spawning times with spring and autumn spawning as the most common modes. Originally, spawning herring ... -
Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ... -
Density-independent mortality at early life stages increases the probability of overlooking an underlying stock-recruitment relationship
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract Beverton and Holt’s (1957) monograph contributed a widely used stock–recruitment relationship (BH-SRR) to fisheries science. However, because of variation around a presumed relationship between spawning biomass ... -
Dive to survive: effects of capture depth on barotrauma and post-release survival of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in recreational fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-04)Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caught in recreational fisheries are commonly released, often with barotrauma after rapid decompression. Mouth-hooked, non-bleeding cod kept in a floating net pen showed mortalities ≥40% when ... -
Domesticated escapees on the run: The second-generation monitoring programme reports the numbers and proportions of farmed Atlantic salmon in >200 Norwegian rivers annually
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Norway is the world’s largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon and is home to ∼400 rivers containing wild salmon populations. Farmed escapees, a reoccurring challenge of all cage-based marine aquaculture, pose a threat ... -
Drivers of the summer-distribution of Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) in the Nordic Seas from 2011 to 2017; a Bayesian hierarchical modelling approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)Identifying factors that are statistically correlated with the geographical distribution dynamics of a species can facilitate our understanding of causal physiological and ecological relationships. Northeast Atlantic (NEA) ... -
Ecological and evolutionary effects of harvesting: lessons from the candy-fish experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11)Understanding the challenges of sustainable fisheries management is not easy for non-specialists, and even many specialists fail to appreciate the potential evolutionary consequences of harvest. We propose candy-fish ... -
The ecological profile of Atlantic salmon escapees entering a river throughout an entire season: Diverse in escape history and genetic background, but frequently virus-infected
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)In 2014, 129 farmed salmon escapees captured in an upstream-migration trap located in the river Etne, western Norway, were investigated for viral infections, age at escape, size, and genetic composition. The frequency of ... -
Eight decades of adaptive changes in herring reproductive investment: the joint effect of environment and exploitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Reproductive investment is a central trait for population dynamics and productivity. Fishing and environmental variations are major drivers affecting population structure, dynamics, and adaptation of life-history and ... -
Evaluating effort regulation in mixed fisheries: a Monte Carlo approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This paper evaluates whether effort regulation could achieve the goal of protecting low-abundance species in mixed fisheries. We construct a two-species bio-economic model and compare the stock abundance ratio in the end ... -
Flexible behaviour in a mesopelagic fish (Maurolicus muelleri)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Variability of mesopelagic scattering layers is often attributed to environmental conditions or multi-species layer composition. Yet, little is known about variation in behaviour among the individuals forming scattering ... -
Genetic analysis of goldsinny wrasse reveals evolutionary insights into population connectivity and potentialevidence of inadverent translocationvia aquaculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The salmon industry is heavily dependent on wrasse for delousing infected fish. The goldsinny wrasse is numerically the most important, and each year, millions are harvested from the wild and transported large distances ... -
Good ethics or political and cultural censoring in science?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Peer-reviewed journals are the cornerstones to communicating scientific results. They play a crucial role in quality assurance through the review process, but they also create opportunities for discussions in the scientific ... -
How trophic cascades and photic zone nutrient content interact to generate basin-scale differences in the microbial food web
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In linear food chains, resource and predator control produce positive and negative correlations, respectively, between biomass at adjacent trophic levels. These simple relationships become more complex in food webs that ... -
Measuring in situ krill tilt orientation by stereo photogrammetry: examples for Euphausia superba and Meganyctiphanes norvegica
(Journal article, 2015-05-12)The natural body orientation adopted by krill is a crucial parameter for understanding and estimating the acoustic backscattering from these animals. Published data are scarce and are usually acquired with single-camera ... -
Parent-offspring conflict over reproductive timing: ecological dynamics far away and at other times may explain spawning variability in Pacific herring
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Timing of reproduction may be of crucial importance for fitness, particularly in environments that vary seasonally in food availability or predation risk. However, for animals with spatially separated feeding and breeding ... -
Pre-catch and discard mortality in Northeast Atlantic herring and mackerel fisheries: consequences for stock estimates and advice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Unaccounted mortality caused by discarding or pre-catch losses is a major challenge for fisheries management. In pelagic fisheries, a considerable proportion of catches may be lost due to intentional release of unwanted ...
