Timing of Calanus finmarchicus diapause in stochastic environments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In environments with strong seasonality, many herbivorous zooplankton remain active only during the productive season and undergo a period of inactivity and suppressed development termed ‘diapause’ during the unproductive ... -
Regional Expression of npy mRNA Paralogs in the Brain of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar, L.) and Response to Fasting
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-26)Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is known as a potent orexigenic signal in vertebrates, but its role in Atlantic salmon has not yet been fully established. In this study, we identified three npy paralogs, named npya1, npya2, and npyb, ... -
Sulfate homeostasis in Atlantic salmon is associated with differential regulation of salmonid-specific paralogs in gill and kidney
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sulfate (SO2−4) regulation is challenging for euryhaline species as they deal with large fluctuations of SO2−4 during migratory transitions between freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW), while maintaining a stable plasma SO2−4 ... -
Nefrokalsinose: Utvikling av sykdom under høyt og lavt CO2 nivå med fokus på histopatologiske forandringer og mineralnivå i nyren
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Denne masteroppgaven er en del av et større prosjekt som blant annet studerer årsakene nefrokalsinose, (NK) hos oppdrettslaks (STONEHUNT, FHF#901588). Hvilke faktorer som ligger til grunn for utvikling av nefrokalsinose, ... -
Taking practical learning in STEM education home: Examples from do‐it‐yourself experiments in plant biology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Practical teaching can give authentic learning experiences and teach valuable skills for undergraduate students in the STEM disciplines. One of the main ways of giving students such experiences, laboratory teaching, is met ... -
Antibacterial treatment of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) experimentally challenged with Vibrio anguillarum, atypical Aeromonas salmonicida and Pasteurella atlantica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lumpfish is a novel farmed species used as cleaner fish for the removal of lice from farmed salmon. As often with new, farmed species, there are challenges with bacterial infections. The frequency of prescription of ... -
The human dimension of biodiversity changes on islands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Islands are among the last regions on Earth settled and transformed by human activities, and they provide replicated model systems for analysis of how people affect ecological functions. By analyzing 27 representative ... -
Population structure of European sprat (Sprattus sprattus) in the Greater North Sea ecoregion revealed by otolith shape analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A successful discrimination of fish populations is essential for sustainable management and assessment. Otolith shape analysis has been used on several species to reveal their population structure. Our aim was to use the ... -
Nuclear Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-Trisphosphate Interactome Uncovers an Enrichment in Nucleolar Proteins
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Polyphosphoinositides (PPIns) play essential roles as lipid signaling molecules, and many of their functions have been elucidated in the cytoplasm. However, PPIns are also intranuclear where they contribute to chromatin ... -
Impact of dietary level and ratio of n-6 and n-3 fatty acids on disease progression and mRNA expression of immune and inflammatory markers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) challenged with Paramoeba perurans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of dietary level and ratio of n-6/n-3 fatty acids (FA) on growth, disease progression and expression of immune and inflammatory markers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) ... -
Nuclear upregulation of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110β correlates with high 47S rRNA levels in cancer cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunits p110α and p110β are ubiquitously expressed but differently targeted in tumours. In cancer, PIK3CB (encoding p110β) is seldom mutated compared with PIK3CA ... -
Cryptic diversity in the leptothecate genera Laodicea and Tiaropsis (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa)
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Although they are an ecologically and economically important group of animals, hydrozoans are understudied because of their difficult identification due to their small size and fragility. Hydrozoans as a group show a great ... -
Leucine did not stimulate growth and accretion in either stressed or unstressed Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The aim of the current trial was to test whether leucine affected growth and accretion including test any effects on leucine upon stress. Quadruplicate tanks each containing 50 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (mean start ... -
Phenology and Environmental Control of Phytoplankton Blooms in the Kong Håkon VII Hav in the Southern Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Knowing the magnitude and timing of pelagic primary production is important for ecosystem and carbon sequestration studies, in addition to providing basic understanding of phytoplankton functioning. In this study we use ... -
The stress response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): identification and functional characterization of the corticotropin-releasing factor (crf) paralogs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Corticotropin-Releasing Factor (CRF) is one of the main mediators of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary–Interrenal (HPI) axis to stress response. In Atlantic salmon, a comparative understanding of the crf1 paralogs role in the ... -
Ice-algal carbon supports harp and ringed seal diets in the European Arctic: evidence from fatty acid and stable isotope markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sea-ice declines in the European Arctic have led to substantial changes in marine food webs. To better understand the biological implications of these changes, we quantified the contributions of ice-associated and pelagic ... -
Long-term monitoring of a brown trout (Salmo trutta) population reveals kin-associated migration patterns and contributions by resident trout to the anadromous run
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: In species showing partial migration, as is the case for many salmonid fishes, it is important to assess how anthropogenic pressure experienced by migrating individuals affects the total population. We focused ... -
Dying for change: A roadmap to refine the fish acute toxicity test after 40 years of applying a lethal endpoint
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The fish acute toxicity test (TG203; OECD, 2019) is frequently used and highly embedded in hazard and risk assessment globally. The test estimates the concentration of a chemical that kills 50% of the fish (LC50) over a ... -
