DNA-analysis to monitor fisheries and aquaculture: Too costly?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03)Evidence from DNA‐analysis is commonplace in human criminal investigations, and while it is increasingly being used in wildlife crime, to date, its application to control and enforcement activities in fisheries and aquaculture ... -
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 ... -
Genetic introgression of farmed salmon in native populations: quantifying the relative influence of population size and frequency of escapees
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-11)Farmed escapees may threaten the genetic integrity of native salmon populations through interbreeding. However, introgression requires survival until maturation, successful reproduction and successful early development. ... -
Genetic management of mixed-stock fisheries "real-time": The case of the largest remaining cod fishery operating in the Atlantic in 2007-2017
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)Fish stocks represent fundamental units in fisheries management, and their identification, especially in mixed-fisheries, represents one of the primary challenges to sustainable harvest. Here, we describe the first “real-time” ... -
Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-17)Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess polyol permeable ... -
Judging a salmon by its spots: Environmental variation is the primary determinant of spot patterns in Salmo salar
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-12)Background. In fish, morphological colour changes occur from variations in pigment concentrations and in the morphology, density, and distribution of chromatophores in the skin. However, the underlying mechanisms remain ... -
Multi-locus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis of the fish-pathogenic bacterium Yersinia ruckeri by multiplex PCR and capillary electrophoresis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-17)Yersinia ruckeri is an important pathogen of farmed salmonids worldwide, but simple tools suitable for epizootiological investigations (infection tracing, etc.) of this bacterium have been lacking. A Multi-Locus Variable-number ... -
Patterns of psychiatric comorbidity and genetic correlations provide new insights into differences between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-04-28)Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) share common genetic factors but seem to have specific patterns of psychiatric comorbidities. There are few systematic studies ...
