Marine Plastics from Norwegian West Coast Carry Potentially Virulent Fish Pathogens and Opportunistic Human Pathogens Harboring New Variants of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To our best knowledge this is the first study characterizing fish pathogens isolated from marine plastics from the West coast of Norway for their potential for pathogenicity using whole genome sequencing. Marine plastic ... -
A marine zooplankton community vertically structured by light across diel to interannual timescales
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The predation risk of many aquatic taxa is dominated by visually searching predators, commonly a function of ambient light. Several studies propose that changes in visual predation will become a major climate-change impact ... -
Massive structural and compositional changes over two decades in forest fragments near Kampala, Uganda
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Private forests harbor considerable biodiversity, however, they are under greater threat than reserved areas, particularly from urbanization, agriculture, and intense exploitation for timber and fuel wood. The extent to ... -
Maternal gene evolution from a comparative perspective
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-09-27)Foreldreomsorg er et utbredt fenomen i livets tre. Arter bruker ulike midler på å ta vare på avkommet sitt. En metode er å tilføre proviant til de ubefruktede eggene. Slike tilførte midler dekker kravene til energi ... -
Maximizing fisheries yields while maintaining community structure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Under the ecosystem approach to fisheries, an optimal fishing pattern is one that gives the highest possible yield while having the least structural impact on the community. Unregulated, open-access African inland fisheries ... -
Me, myself and I -Teachers’ self-motivation and sense of responsibility determine the use of active learning methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Extended use of laboratory and field courses makes biology a discipline considering itself as a habitual practitioner of active learning strategies. We investigated how widely the faculty at the Department of Biological ... -
Measurements of Lesser sandeel schools (Ammodytes marinus) using omnidirectional fisheries sonar
(Master thesis, 2012-09-03)The coverage of this master thesis is 58 pages, with 25 Figures and 9 Tables. The Simrad SH90 high frequency omidirectional sonar was used in a field experiment in 2011 to acoustically investigate the distribution of Lesser ... -
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 ... -
Measuring methods for fish welfare during slaughter based on electrical impedance, EEG, ECG and blood parameters
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-04-28)Improved animal welfare during industrial slaughtering of fish is the aim of the scientific work presented in this thesis. The thesis is based on four publications that cover different stages of an automated industrial ... -
Mechanically reinforced, flexible, hydrophobic and uv impermeable starch-cellulose nanofibers (Cnf)-lignin composites with good barrier and thermal properties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Bio-based composite films have been widely studied as potential substitutes for conventional plastics in food packaging. The aim of this study was to develop multifunctional composite films by introducing cellulose nanofibers ... -
The mechanism (Phe362Tyr mutation) behind resistance in Lepeophtheirus salmonis pre-dates organophosphate use in salmon farming
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-27)The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the marine environment, and represents a global challenge to salmon aquaculture. A major issue is the reliance of the industry on a limited number of chemicals ... -
Mechanisms Generating Dichotomies in the Life Strategies of Heterotrophic Marine Prokaryotes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Understanding the mechanisms that generate and maintain diversity in marine prokaryotic communities is one of the main challenges for contemporary marine microbiology. We here review how observational, experimental, and ... -
Mechanisms of cataract development in adult Atlantic salmon growers relative to dietary histidine and plant feed ingredients
(Doctoral thesis, 2010-03-19)Cataracts are defined as opacities of the eye lens and can be caused by a large number of risk factors. In aquaculture, cataracts in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) represent an ethical problem and can cause ... -
The Melanocortin System in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) and Its Role in Appetite Control
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-21)The melanocortin system is a key neuroendocrine network involved in the control of food intake and energy homeostasis in vertebrates. Within the hypothalamus, the system comprises two main distinct neuronal cell populations ... -
The Melting Snowball Effect: A Heuristic for Sustainable Arctic Governance Under Climate Change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Climate change in the Arctic is occurring at a rapid rate. In Longyearbyen, Svalbard, the world’s northernmost city, deadly avalanches and permafrost thaw-induced architectural destruction has disrupted local governance ... -
Mercury in fish from the North East Atlantic: sources, bioaccumulation dynamics and co-occurrence with selenium
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-09-26)Mercury (Hg) is a global neurotoxin distributed at trace levels in the earth’s crust. Although Hg input from anthropogenic sources has been reduced in North America and Europe, in some other parts of the world the emission ... -
