Analysis of coastal cod (Gadus morhua L.) sampled on spawning sites reveals a genetic gradient throughout Norway's coastline
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-09)Background. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) has formed the basis of many economically significant fisheries in the North Atlantic, and is one of the best studied marine fishes, but a legacy of overexploitation has depleted ... -
Chromosome aberrations in pressureinduced triploid Atlantic salmon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Triploid organisms have three sets of chromosomes. In Atlantic salmon, hydrostatic pressure treatment of newly fertilized eggs has been extensively used to produce triploids which are functionally sterile due ... -
Epistatic regulation of growth in Atlantic salmon revealed: a QTL study performed on the domesticated-wild interface
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Quantitative traits are typically considered to be under additive genetic control. Although there are indications that non-additive factors have the potential to contribute to trait variation, experimental ... -
Genome wide analysis reveals genetic divergence between Goldsinny wrasse populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Marine fish populations are often characterized by high levels of gene flow and correspondingly low genetic divergence. This presents a challenge to define management units. Goldsinny wrasse (Ctenolabrus ... -
The influence of vgll3 genotypes on sea age at maturity is altered in farmed mowi strain Atlantic salmon
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-06)Background: In Atlantic salmon in the wild, age at maturity is strongly influenced by the vgll3 locus. Under farming conditions, light, temperature and feeding regimes are known significantly advance or delay age at maturity. ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Ploidy elicits a whole-genome dosage effect: growth of triploid Atlantic salmon is linked to the genetic origin of the second maternal chromosome set
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04-11)Background: The Atlantic salmon aquaculture industry is investigating the feasibility of using sterile triploids to mitigate genetic interactions with wild conspecifics, however, studies investigating diploid and triploid ... -
Production and verification of the first Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) clonal lines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background In several fish species homozygous and heterozygous clonal lines have been produced using gynogenetic and androgenetic techniques. These lines are standardized and can be reproduced over generations. In rainbow ... -
Transcriptomic comparison of communally reared wild, domesticated and hybrid Atlantic salmon fry under stress and control conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Domestication is the process by which organisms become adapted to the human-controlled environment. Since the selection pressures that act upon cultured and natural populations differ, adaptations that favour ...
