Ghost fishing by self-baited lost, abandoned or discarded pots in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-14)Unintended continuous capture or so-called “ghost fishing”, by abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear produces negative environmental impact on marine life and nature conservation. The risk of ghost fishing in pots could be high due to potential self-baiting resulting from mortality of ghost fished catch. Self-baiting may increase ghost fishing by further attracting marine organisms, ... -
The rural development trilemma
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-30)Rural public policies are important and contested in many countries. Politicians and administrations often have high ambitions for both spatial policies (e.g. maintaining demography, local work, businesses etc.) technological development (modernisation, increased productivity etc.), while production tend to be limited by markets (as in the case of agricultural productions) or resources (as in e.g. ... -

The immune gene expression profile of sterile and fertile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) during smoltification and post transportation stress - A comparative overview
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-11-23)The escape of farmed salmon may result in unwanted interbreeding with wild salmon populations. The development of a sterile salmon can prevent the negative effect of unwanted genetic introgression as well as provide the industry with solutions to drawbacks associated with sexual maturation. A sterile fish will also improve the competitive strength of the 6 Norwegian breeding companies as the fish ... -
The Core of the Matter—Importance of Identification Method and Biological Replication for Benthic Marine Monitoring
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-14)Benthic macrofauna are important and widely used biological indicators of marine ecosystems as they have limited mobility and therefore integrate the effects of local environmental stressors over time. Recently, environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has provided a potentially more resource-efficient approach for benthic biomonitoring than traditional morphology-based methods. Several studies have ... -
Reproductive biology of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus): a key to successful selective breeding

On the origin of bird's nest fungi: Phylogenomic analyses of fungi in the Nidulariaceae (Agaricales, Basidiomycota)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-07)Nidulariaceae, also known as bird’s nest fungi, is an understudied group of mushroom-forming fungi. The common name is derived from their nest-like morphology. Bird’s nest fungi are ubiquitous wood decomposers or saprobes on dung. Recent studies showed that species in the Nidulariaceae form a monophyletic group with five sub-clades. However, phylogenetic relationships among genera and placement ... -
Bioprospecting of inhibitors of EPEC virulence from metabolites of marine actinobacteria from the Arctic Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-30)A considerable number of antibacterial agents are derived from bacterial metabolites.
