• Triploidy leads to a mismatch of smoltification biomarkers in the gill and differences in the optimal salinity for post-smolt growth in Atlantic salmon 

      de Fonseka, Raneesha; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Sambraus, Florian; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Remø, Sofie C.; Stien, Lars Helge; Reinardy, Helena; Madaro, Angelico; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Fraser, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Sterile triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) show inconsistent seawater grow-out, but the reason why remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the salinity optima of triploid post-smolts. Diploids and ...
    • The two-step development of a duplex retina involves distinct events of cone and rod neurogenesis and differentiation 

      Valen, Ragnhild; Eilertsen, Mariann; Edvardsen, Rolf; Furmanek, Tomasz; Rønnestad, Ivar; van der Meeren, Terje; Karlsen, Ørjan; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Helvik, Jon Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)
      Unlike in mammals, persistent postembryonic retinal growth is a characteristic feature of fish, which includes major remodeling events that affect all cell types including photoreceptors. Consequently, visual capabilities ...
    • The use of photoperiods to provide year round spawning in lumpfish Cyclopterus lumpus 

      Imsland, Albert; Hangstad, Thor Arne; Jonassen, Thor Magne; Stefansson, Sigurd Olav; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Hovgaard, Peter; Elvegård, Tor Anders; Lindberg, Ken Ståle; Mikalsen, Bjørn; Urskog, Tonje Cecilie; Norberg, Birgitta; Andersson, Eva; Spetland, Frank; Reynolds, Patrick (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In order to provide year round spawning broodstock, lumpfish (initial size 746 g and 24.9 cm) were reared under four different photoperiod regimes from January 2017 to July 2018. One group was reared under simulated natural ...
    • Validating timing of salmon smolt runs obtained by telemetry studies 

      Hulbak, Magnus Andre; Hanssen, Erlend Mjelde; Lennox, Robert; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Gharbi, Naouel; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Vollset, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Telemetry tags are increasingly used in management to monitor the migration timing of Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar L.). It has been postulated that (1) effects from tagging and handling may alter migration behaviour, ...
    • Water Flow Requirements of Post-smolt Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Reared in Intensive Seawater Flow-through Systems: A Physiological Perspective 

      Calabrese, Sara; Imsland, Albert K. D.; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Kolarevic, Jelena; Ebbesson, Lars O.E.; Hosfeld, Camilla Diesen; Fivelstad, Sveinung; Pedrosa, Cindy; Terjesen, Bendik Fyhn; Stefansson, Sigurd O.; Takle, Harald Rune; Sveier, Harald; Mathisen, Frode; Handeland, Sigurd Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Environmental challenges related to open sea cage production of Atlantic salmon have sparked interest in developing commercial-scale semi-closed sea systems for post-smolt Atlantic salmon (100–1000 g). Determining the ...
    • Water temperature and dietary histidine affect cataract formation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) diploid and triploid yearling smolt 

      Sambraus, Florian; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Remø, Sofie C.; Hevrøy, Ernst Morten; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Thorsen, Anders; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Waagbø, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09)
      The aim of the present study was to investigate cataract development in diploid (2N) and triploid (3N) Atlantic salmon smolts and post-smolts at two water temperatures (10 and 16 °C) given diets with different histidine ...
