Organic carbon and mineral nutrient limitation of oxygen consumption, bacterial growth and efficiency in the Norwegian Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-12)To evaluate the role of bacteria in the transformation of organic matter in subarctic waters, we investigated the effect of mineral nutrients (ammonia and phosphate) and organic carbon (glucose) enrichment on heterotrophic ... -
Organisation of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) thymus and its content of Ig-expressing cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The thymus of fishes is located as a dual organ in a rostrodorsal projection within the gill chamber and is covered by the operculum. The histological organization of the teleost fish thymus displays considerable diversity, ... -
Organization, transformation, and activation of the melanocortin system in Atlantic salmon
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-03)Atlantisk laks (Salmo salar) er en nøkkelart i norsk havbruk. Det trengs imidlertid mer kunnskap og teknologi for å kontinuerlig utvikle mer bærekraftig produksjon, forbedre dyrevelferden og for å øke den økonomiske verdien ... -
Osedax mucofloris (Polychaeta, Siboglinidae), a bone-eating marine worm new to Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)The bone-eating siboglinid polychaete Osedax mucofloris Glover, Källström, Smith & Dahlgren, 2005 is reported from Norwegian waters for the first time. Dense growth was found on bovine bones deposited at 118 meters depth ... -
Ossification of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) – Developmental stages revisited
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)In studies of marine larvae, it is common to use days post-hatch as a developmental reference point. We show that age is a poor measure of morphological and physiological development in Atlantic cod. Therefore, we propose ... -
Otolith growth across two generations in Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)
(Master thesis, 2018-06-27)The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) has a wide distribution and a complex metapopulation structure with interactions between the sub-populations. The sub-populations show different adaptations, both genetic and non-genetic, ... -
Otolith structure as indicator of key life history events in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-08-27)Otoliths are remarkable recorders of the individual life history, as they can reflect the growth trajectory and may encapsulate marks related to ontogenetic, physiological and environmental events. Visible and chemical ... -
Otolith “spawning zones” across multiple Atlantic cod populations: Do they accurately record maturity and spawning?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Specific changes identified in the otolith macrostructure of Northeast Arctic cod as “spawning zones” are presumed to represent spawning events, but recent experimental studies have challenged this relationship. Because ... -
Outdoor cycling activity affected by COVID-19 related epidemic-control-decisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-06)Aim: The lockdown of sports infrastructure due to the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially shifted people’s physical activity towards public green spaces. With Germany’s lockdown as one of the more severe governmentally ... -
Overcoming Ostrea edulis seed production limitations to meet ecosystem restoration demands in the UN decade on restoration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe. Following its decline due to overfishing, pollution, sedimentation, invasive species, and disease, ... -
Overlapping transcription initiation codes and promoter interpretation in vertebrate development and differentiation
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-05)A core promoter is a minimal region sufficient to direct the accurate initiation of transcription. Various core promoter elements have been discovered that recruit and position transcriptional machinery, which then initiates ... -
Overvåkingsprogram og kompetansehevingstiltak knyttet til vannkvalitet og fiskehelse i marine yngel- og settefiskanlegg (MarinVest)
(NIVA-rapport;6782, Research report, 2015)Prosjektet «Overvåkingsprogram og kompetansehevingstiltak knyttet til vannkvalitet og fiskehelse i marine yngel- og settefiskanlegg (MarinVest)».har blitt utført i samarbeid med industrideltagerne Sterling White Halibut ... -
Overview of the MOSAiC expedition: Ecosystem
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The international and interdisciplinary sea-ice drift expedition “The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate” (MOSAiC) was conducted from October 2019 to September 2020. The aim of MOSAiC ... -
The oxygen requirement of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the on-growing phase in sea cages
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-10-30)Atlantic salmon aquaculture is a successful and growing industry, with a global production of more than 1.4 million tonnes in 2010. In the on-growing phase, Atlantic salmon are normally kept in sea cages, where both the ... -
Oxygen variation within a seacage
(Master thesis, 2008-06-01)In recent years, fish welfare during aquaculture production has received increasing attention, and it has been suggested that welfare is threatened as larger seacages are developed. Larger seacages with higher stocking ... -
Pacific and Atlantic Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1838) are allopatric subspecies: Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis and L. salmonis oncorhynchi subspecies novo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-03-14)Background: The salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis is a parasitic copepod that infects salmonids in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Although considered as a single species, morphological and biological differences have ... -
Palaeolimnological and sedimentary responses to Holocene forest retreat in the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)A suite of analyses was performed on sediments accumulated during the last 10 700 years in Lake Spaime, a small, hydrologically open water body in the modem alpine tundra zone of the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden. ... -
