Modelling sea lice control by lumpfish on Atlantic salmon farms: Interactions with mate limitation, temperature and treatment rules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Atlantic salmon farming is one of the largest aquaculture sectors in the world. A major impact on farm economics, fish welfare and, potentially, nearby wild salmonid populations, is the sea louse ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus ... -
Moderate nucleotide diversity in the Atlantic herring is associated with a low mutation rate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-06-30)The Atlantic herring is one of the most abundant vertebrates on earth but its nucleotide diversity is moderate (π = 0.3%), only three-fold higher than in human. Here, we present a pedigree-based estimation of the mutation ... -
Modern cities modelled as “super-cells” rather than multicellular organisms: Implications for industry, goods and services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The structure and “metabolism” (movement and conversion of goods and energy) of urban areas has caused cities to be identified as “super-organisms”, placed between ecosystems and the biosphere, in the hierarchy of living ... -
Modern genomic tools reveal the structural and cellular diversity of cnidarian nervous systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Cnidarians shared a common ancestor with bilaterians more than 600 million years ago. This sister group relationship gives them an informative phylogenetic position for understanding the fascinating morphological and ... -
Modern pollen–vegetation relationships in traditionally mown and unmanaged boreal rich-fen communities in central Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)Knowledge of the relationship between vegetation and modern pollen deposition is necessary to improve the interpretation of fossil pollen samples. We compared the cover of plant species and the modern pollen deposition in ... -
Modulation of neuro-dopamine homeostasis in juvenile female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and perfluoroalkyl substances
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The dopaminergic effect of PAH and PFAS mixtures, prepared according to environmentally relevant concentrations, has been studied in juvenile female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Benzo[a]pyrene, dibenzothiophene, fluorene, ... -
Modulation of nutrient composition of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae by feeding seaweed-enriched media
(Journal article, 2017-08-24)Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae are a promising source of protein and lipid for animal feeds. The nutritional composition of the BSF larvae depend partly on the composition of the feeding medium. The BSF lipid ... -

Molecular analysis of the development and function of the apical organ in the sea anemone Nematostella vectensis
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-10-09)The shapes and patterns displayed across the animal kingdom exhibit great diversity, but at the same time similarities in their appearance can be observed. Scientist in the past have studied animal forms based on morphology. ... -
Molecular and morphological analysis of the developing nemertean brain indicates convergent evolution of complex brains in Spiralia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background The brain anatomy in the clade Spiralia can vary from simple, commissural brains (e.g., gastrotrichs, rotifers) to rather complex, partitioned structures (e.g., in cephalopods and annelids). How often and in ... -
Molecular characterisation of key components of the mucosal immune system in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) and transcriptome analysis of responses against the salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-04-17)Mucosal immunity in mammals is mediated mainly by secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), which is produced by IgA plasma cells commonly located in the lamina propria, and a transport system involving the polymeric Ig receptor ... -
Molecular characterisation of the salmon louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis (Krøyer, 1837), ecdysone receptor with emphasis on functional studies of female reproduction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Copepoda, Caligidae) is an important parasite in the salmon farming industry in the Northern Hemisphere causing annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars (US) worldwide. To ... -
Molecular characterisaton of T cell co-receptors CD3, CD8 and CD4 in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Doctoral thesis, 2009-03-27)The commercial importance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in aquaculture has fuelled much research into fish health since outbreaks of infectious disease cause major financial losses. All aspects of immunology are therefore ... -
Molecular characterization of an environmental bacterial isolate with strong serological cross-reaction with Shigella boydii 15. Implications for live shigellosis vaccine development
(Master thesis, 2009-04-07)Bacillary dysentery caused by Shigella bacteria (shigellosis) is a major health problem in developing countries. Even though contaminated drinking water is expected to play an important role for the dissemination of this ... -
Molecular characterization of the lipophorin receptor in the crustacean ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-12)The Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a marine ectoparasite of salmonid fish in the Northern Hemisphere and considered as a major challenge in aquaculture and a threat to wild populations of salmonids. Adult female ... -
Molecular characterization of the myoliquefactive fish parasite kudoa mirabilis (Cnidaria, kudoidae) from se Indian Ocean and its phylogenetic relationship with the kudoa thyrsites species complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Myxosporean parasites of the genus Kudoa are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly ... -
Molecular evidence of parallel evolution in a cyanophage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Antagonistic interactions between bacteriophage (phage) and its bacterial host drives the continual selection for resistance and counter-defence. To date, much remains unknown about the genomic evolution that occurs as ... -
