To develop a bacteriophage-based control of columnaris disease, we isolated and characterized 126 F. columnare strains and 63 ... -
Røde blodceller - er de sensorer for laksens helsetilstand?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-11)Det er ikke tvil om at røde blodceller er livsviktige, siden de forsyner kroppen med oksygen, og laksens blodceller frakter oksygen kanskje enda mer effektivt enn våre blodceller gjør. Men det er ikke det eneste de røde blodcellene i laksen kan. De har en cellekjerne som kan uttrykke en mengde gener - de har sensorer for virus og stresshormoner og mye mer - og får signaler fra ... -
Comparison of the efficiency and modes of capture of biodegradable versus nylon gillnets in the Northeast Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fishery
