Advances in herring biology: from simple to complex, coping with plasticity and adaptability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)At least two centuries of investigations on herring have been absorbed by scientific journals, and applied and fundamental research has produced groundbreaking concepts in fisheries, population biology, and marine ecology. ... -
Aquaculture-driven evolution: distribution of pyrethroid resistance in the salmon louse throughout the North Atlantic in the years 2000–2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The parasitic salmon louse, and its documented resistance to chemotherapeutants, represents the most persistent environmental challenge to global salmonid aquaculture. We used a genetic marker associated with pyrethroid ... -
The bio-economic effects of artificial reefs: mixed evidence from Shandong, China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Artificial reefs are used to protect coastal habitats and rebuild fisheries. This engineering approach to fisheries management has gained popularity in many coastal areas, including China. In Shandong province alone, over ... -
A combination of genetic and phenotypic characterization of spring- and autumn-spawning herring suggests gene flow between populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) has complex population structure and dynamics including diverse life histories and spawning times with spring and autumn spawning as the most common modes. Originally, spawning herring ... -
Contribution of Calanus to the mesozooplankton biomass in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Copepods from the genus Calanus are crucial prey for fish, seabirds and mammals in the Nordic and Barents Sea ecosystems. The objective of this study is to determine the contribution of Calanus species to the mesozooplankton ... -
Density-independent mortality at early life stages increases the probability of overlooking an underlying stock-recruitment relationship
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Abstract Beverton and Holt’s (1957) monograph contributed a widely used stock–recruitment relationship (BH-SRR) to fisheries science. However, because of variation around a presumed relationship between spawning biomass ... -
Discards of cod (Gadus morhua) in the Norwegian coastal fisheries: improving past and future estimates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Discarding can be an unknown source of biases and uncertainties in stock assessments. Discarding patterns and quantities vary so a routine methodology for estimating discards is important to give a better picture of total ... -
Dive to survive: effects of capture depth on barotrauma and post-release survival of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in recreational fisheries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-04)Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) caught in recreational fisheries are commonly released, often with barotrauma after rapid decompression. Mouth-hooked, non-bleeding cod kept in a floating net pen showed mortalities ≥40% when ... -
Domesticated escapees on the run: The second-generation monitoring programme reports the numbers and proportions of farmed Atlantic salmon in >200 Norwegian rivers annually
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Norway is the world’s largest producer of farmed Atlantic salmon and is home to ∼400 rivers containing wild salmon populations. Farmed escapees, a reoccurring challenge of all cage-based marine aquaculture, pose a threat ... -
Ecological and evolutionary effects of harvesting: lessons from the candy-fish experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11)Understanding the challenges of sustainable fisheries management is not easy for non-specialists, and even many specialists fail to appreciate the potential evolutionary consequences of harvest. We propose candy-fish ... -
The ecological profile of Atlantic salmon escapees entering a river throughout an entire season: Diverse in escape history and genetic background, but frequently virus-infected
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)In 2014, 129 farmed salmon escapees captured in an upstream-migration trap located in the river Etne, western Norway, were investigated for viral infections, age at escape, size, and genetic composition. The frequency of ... -
Eight decades of adaptive changes in herring reproductive investment: the joint effect of environment and exploitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Reproductive investment is a central trait for population dynamics and productivity. Fishing and environmental variations are major drivers affecting population structure, dynamics, and adaptation of life-history and ... -
Evaluating effort regulation in mixed fisheries: a Monte Carlo approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)This paper evaluates whether effort regulation could achieve the goal of protecting low-abundance species in mixed fisheries. We construct a two-species bio-economic model and compare the stock abundance ratio in the end ... -
The evolving story of catadromy in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Anguillid eels were once considered to be the classic example of catadromy. However, alternative life cycles have been reported, including skipping the freshwater phase and habitat shifting between fresh, brackish, and ... -
Flexible behaviour in a mesopelagic fish (Maurolicus muelleri)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Variability of mesopelagic scattering layers is often attributed to environmental conditions or multi-species layer composition. Yet, little is known about variation in behaviour among the individuals forming scattering ... -
Gaussian mixture models reveal highly diverse targeting tactics in a coastal fishing fleet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fishermen make repeated choices with respect to when, where, and how to catch their target species. While these targeting tactics—and the factors shaping them—are known to fishers and some experts, knowledge about them is ... -
Gender and early career status: variables of participation at an international marine science conference
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Conference participation is an important part of academic practice and contributes to building scientific careers. Investigating demographic differences in conference participation may reveal factors contributing to the ... -
Genetic analysis of goldsinny wrasse reveals evolutionary insights into population connectivity and potentialevidence of inadverent translocationvia aquaculture
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The salmon industry is heavily dependent on wrasse for delousing infected fish. The goldsinny wrasse is numerically the most important, and each year, millions are harvested from the wild and transported large distances ... -
Geographic distribution, abundance, diet, and body size of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Norwegian and Barents Seas, and in Norwegian rivers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)We report for the first time the geographic distribution, abundance, diet, and body size of invasive pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Norwegian and Barents Seas and Norwegian coast and rivers. We found that pink ... -
How trophic cascades and photic zone nutrient content interact to generate basin-scale differences in the microbial food web
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In linear food chains, resource and predator control produce positive and negative correlations, respectively, between biomass at adjacent trophic levels. These simple relationships become more complex in food webs that ...
