Mining Lepeophtheirus salmonis RNA-Seq data for qPCR reference genes and their application in Caligus elongatus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Caligus elongatus are two parasitic copepod species posing a significant threat to salmonid aquaculture. Consequently, several gene expression studies are executed each year to gain new knowledge ... -
The Miocene: The Future of the Past
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern conditions, and many flora and fauna evolved into the ... -
Mitigation of oxygen decline in fjords by freshwater injection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The exchange of water masses between deep fjords and the open ocean is commonly constrained by a topographical barrier called the sill. While fjord water above the sill depth communicates relatively freely with the open ... -
Mitochondrial aquaporin-8-mediated hydrogen peroxide transport is essential for teleost spermatozoon motility
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-14)Reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cause oxidative cell damage and inhibit sperm function. In most oviparous fishes that spawn in seawater (SW), spermatozoa may be exposed to harmful ROS ... -
Mitogenomics of the suborder Cottoidei (Teleostei: Perciformes): Improved assemblies, mitogenome features, phylogeny, and ecological implications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We determined the mitogenome of Cyclopterus lumpus using a hybrid sequencing approach, and another four closely related species in the Liparidae based on available next-generation sequence data. We found that the mitogenome ... -
Mixed-stock analysis of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus): a tool for identifying management units and complex migration dynamics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We developed and validated a mixed-stock analysis (MSA) method with 59 single-nucleotide polymorphisms selected from genome-wide data to assign individuals to populations in mixed-stock samples of Atlantic herring from the ... -
Mixture effects of environmental contaminants in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) : Combining experimental approaches to study contaminant-induced biological responses
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-01-15)Release of chemicals from anthropogenic activities is considered a substantial threat to the global environment. Marine ecosystems are sinks for accumulation of contaminants, therefore marine organisms are highly susceptible ... -
MLVA genotyping of Moritella viscosa reveals serial emergence of novel, host-specific clonal complexes in Norwegian salmon farming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A Multi-Locus Variable number of tandem repeat Analysis (MLVA) genotyping scheme was developed for the epidemiological study of Moritella viscosa, which causes ‘winter ulcer’ predominantly in sea-reared Atlantic salmon ... -
Mn/Fe reduction in sandy soil during degradation of de-icing chemical: Respiration kinetics and prokaryotic community composition
(Master thesis, 2017-08-29)At Oslo airport, Gardermoen, Norway, large quantities of propylene glycol (PG) are used as de-icing fluid during winter, causing high loads of this chemical to infiltrate in surrounding soil during snow melt and increasing ... -
A model for hydrophobic protrusions on peripheral membrane proteins
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-26)With remarkable spatial and temporal specificities, peripheral membrane proteins bind to biological membranes. They do this without compromising solubility of the protein, and their binding sites are not easily distinguished. ... -
Model of mesopelagic fish predation on eggs and larvae shows benefits of tuna spawning under full moon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Most mesopelagic fish are small planktivores that migrate up at nightfall to feed in the safety of darkness and descend to depth at dawn to escape visual predators. However, the trophic roles can reverse since mesopelagic ... -
Model-informed classification of broadband acoustic backscatter from zooplankton in an in situ mesocosm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Classification of zooplankton to species with broadband echosounder data could increase the taxonomic resolution of acoustic surveys and reduce the dependence on net and trawl samples for ‘ground truthing’. Supervised ... -
Modeling Coupled Nonlinear Multilayered Dynamics: Cyber Attack and Disruption of an Electric Grid
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We study the consequences of cyberattack, defense, and recovery in systems for which a physical system is enabled by a cyber system by extending previous applications of models from the population biology of disease to the ... -
Modeling early life history of cod
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-03-02)Newly hatched Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae face an uncertain future when they first enter their marine pelagic habitat. Prior to complete yolk absorption, the larvae will have to find food. This process includes the ... -
Modeling fitness changes in wild Atlantic salmon populations faced by spawning intrusion of domesticated escapees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07)Genetic interaction between domesticated escapees and wild conspecifics represents a persistent challenge to an environmentally sustainable Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry. We used a recently developed eco‐genetic ... -
Modelling and expression of the extracellular domain of the human guanylyl cyclase C receptor
(Master thesis, 2011-09-14)The human guanylyl cyclase C receptor is the target for the heat-stable entero- toxin (STa) from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, which is responsible for more than 200 million episodes of diarrhea and 300,000 deaths per ... -
Modelling and interpreting fish bioenergetics: a role for behaviour, life-history traits and survival trade-offs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Bioenergetics is used as the mechanistic foundation of many models of fishes. As the context of a model gradually extends beyond pure bioenergetics to include behaviour, life-history traits and function and performance of ... -
Modelling annual mass balances of eight Scandinavian glaciers using statistical models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-15)Mass balances of Scandinavian glaciers are mainly influenced by winter precipitation and summer temperature. We used simple statistical models to assess the relative importance of summer temperature and winter precipitation ... -
Modelling approaches for capturing plankton diversity (MODIV), their societal applications and data needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Ecosystem models need to capture biodiversity, because it is a fundamental determinant of food web dynamics and consequently of the cycling of energy and matter in ecosystems. In oceanic food webs, the plankton compartment ... -
Modelling fish growth under hormonal regulation as a factor in Pace of Life
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-29)This thesis is written with the aim to increase the holistic understanding of growth in fish. As stated by Tinbergen (1963), to fully understand a behaviour or trait one needs to understand several perspectives of it. Those ...
