Introgression of domesticated salmon changes life history and phenology of a wild salmon population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The release of domesticated conspecifics into the natural environment, whether deliberate or accidental, has the potential to alter the genetic integrity and evolutionary trajectory of wild populations. This widespread ... -
The invertebrate fauna of anthropogenic soils in the High-Arctic settlement of Barentsburg, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-17)The terrestrial environment of the High Arctic consists of a mosaic of habitat types. In addition to the natural habitat diversity, various human-influenced types may occur. For the resident invertebrate fauna, these ... -
Invest more and die faster: The life history of a parasite on intensive farms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Organisms are expected to respond to alterations in their survival by evolutionary changes in their life history traits. As agriculture and aquaculture have become increasingly intensive in the past decades, there has been ... -
Investigating elevational gradients of species richness in a Mediterranean plant hotspot using a published flora
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Apuan Alps are one of the most peculiar mountain chain in the Mediterranean, being very close to the coastline and reaching an elevation of almost 2000 m. Based on published flora, we investigated the distribution of ... -
Investigating the Disordered and Membrane-Active Peptide A-Cage-C Using Conformational Ensembles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The driving forces and conformational pathways leading to amphitropic protein-membrane binding and in some cases also to protein misfolding and aggregation is the subject of intensive research. In this study, a chimeric ... -
Investigating the frequency of triploid Atlantic salmon in wild Norwegian and Russian populations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-03)Background Fish may display variations in ploidy, including three sets of chromosomes, known as triploidy. A recent study revealed a frequency of ~ 2% spontaneous (i.e., non-intentional) triploidy in domesticated Atlantic ... -
Investigating the metabolic, transcriptomic and DNA methylation signatures of high dietary arachidonic acid in zebrafish: Epigenetic and transcriptional effects in the next generation
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-03-14)Background. Nutrition is one of the important environmental determinants of individual health. Alteration in dietary omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 and n-6 PUFA) profiles is known to affect the health ... -
Investigating the Versatility of a Flavin-containing Monooxygenase Engineered Towards Trimethylamine Conversion in Fish Protein Hydrolysate
(Master thesis, 2023-11-20)Byproducts from the seafood industry are rich in nutrients, such as peptides, which might be utilized to a greater extent in the food market. Peptides can be extracted from fish byproducts by enzymatic hydrolysis, but the ... -
An investigation into the parasitic barnacle, Anelasma squalicola; prevalence, infection behaviour and effects on its host, Etmopterus spinax, in Lusterfjord, Norway.
(Master thesis, 2016-06-27)Anelasma squalicola is a recently evolved parasite. Very little is known of its biology due to its normally low prevalence in deep sea lantern sharks (family: Etmopteridae), in which it is found embedded in the skin. A ... -
Investigation of crustaceans from shelf areas in the Gulf of Guinea, with special emphasis on Brachyura
(Master thesis, 2009)Crustacean abundance on continental shelves off Nigeria, Cameroon and Gabon in the Gulf of Guinea was investigated in this study. Quantitative data was sampled with a 0.1 m² Van Veen grab during a survey with RV Dr. Fridtjof ... -
Investigation of growth performance of post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in semi closed containment system: A big-scale benchmark study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The Norwegian salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestations, escapees, diseases and environmental impact. Semi-closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to abate ... -
Investigation of the putative iron reducing capabilities of Lokiarchaeota
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Marine subsurface sediments are large and ecologically significant microbial habitats. The archaeal phylum Lokiarchaeota is a group of organisms commonly found in these sediments. Their metabolism is unknown, but based on ... -
Iodine nutrition and toxicity in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-19)Copepods as feed promote better growth and development in marine fish larvae than rotifers. However, unlike rotifers, copepods contain several minerals such as iodine (I), at potentially toxic levels. Iodine is an essential ... -
Ion transporters and osmoregulation in the kidney of teleost fishes as a function of salinity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-20)Euryhaline teleosts exhibit major changes in renal function as they move between freshwater (FW) and seawater (SW) environments, thus tolerating large fluctuations in salinity. In FW, the kidney excretes large volumes of ... -
Is habituation measurable in lumpfish cyclopterus lumpus when used as cleaner fish in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar aquaculture?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)To investigate how lumpfish interact in Atlantic salmon aquaculture, physiological stress responses and changes in behaviour were analysed in experienced and naive lumpfish. Experienced lumpfish (30.2 ± 7.93 g, mean ± SD) ... -
Is individual variation in competitive performance of reared juvenile cod influenced by haemoglobin genotype?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000)To succeed in scramble competition for food an individual fish will have to have characteristics that allow it to respond rapidly to encountered prey. A trait such as metabolic rate, which has a positive effect on oxygen ... -
“Is it important to consider males while measuring the reproductive potential of a fish stock?”
(Master thesis, 2008)This study explored the paternal contribution to stock reproductive potential in Northeast Arctic (NEA) cod (Gadus morhua L.). An equation for estimating total annual viable sperm production (VSP) was parameterised for NEA ... -
Is it possible to photoperiod manipulate spawning time in planktivorous fish ? A long-term experiment on Atlantic herring
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The oocyte development (vitellogenesis) of individual fish is highly dependent upon their physiology which is influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Thus, if individuals encounter poor biophysical conditions, ...
