Traditional morphological methods for species identification are highly time consuming, especially for small organisms, such as Foraminifera, a group of shell-building microbial eukaryotes. To analyze large amounts of samples more efficiently, species identification methods have extended to molecular tools in the last few decades. Although a wide range of phyla have good markers available, for ...

Escherichia coli is one of the most established bacterial hosts for genetic devices, partially due to the available knowledge and tools for ease of manipulation. However, there is an incentive to increase the current number of available recipients. For instance, marine bacteria are being recognized for their potential as microbial "chassis" due to their rich genetic and metabolic diversity. With ...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a sieve panel could be an alternative to the Nordmøre grid or if a sieve panel could combine with the Nordmøre grid regarding bycatch reduction while simultaneously maintaining shrimp retention in the Northeast Atlantic deep-water shrimp (Pandalus borealis) fishery. These gears are the two most established bycatch reduction devices used today in shrimp ...

Two Calanus species, C. glacialis and C. finmarchicus, due to different life strategies and environmental preferences act as an ecological indicators of Arctic Atlantification. Their high lipid content makes them important food source for higher trophic levels of Arctic ecosystems including the most abundant Northern Hemisphere's seabird, the little auk (Alle alle). Recent studies indicate a critical ...

Monitoring the distribution of marine non-indigenous species is a challenging task. To support this monitoring, we developed and validated the specificity of 12 primer-probe assays for detection of environmental DNA (eDNA) from marine species all non-indigenous to Europe. The species include sturgeons, a Pacific red algae, oyster thief, a freshwater hydroid from the Black Sea, Chinese mitten crab, ...

Vi undersøkte effektene av en 30 sekunders behandling ved 34 °C på Atlantisk laks (Salmo salar L.) under kontrollerte omstendigheter i et laboratorium. Disse effektene ble så sammenliknet med en Thermolicer-behandling fra felt. Effektene som ble undersøkt var: makroskopiske velferdsindikatorer, histologiske endringer og endringer i genuttrykket til laksen før/etter og på tvers av behandlinger. Vi ...

Teaching statistics to generalist students oriented toward a profession, rather than academic merits, may be challenging. As statistics courses also tend to have a low student appeal, tailoring a course toward this type of audience is demanding. Framed within the theory of statistical thinking and literacy, this article shows how an investigative process, using domain data and real-life examples, ...

The paper is devoted to consideration of main aspects of internationalization process of the firm. The international marketing literature and findings of previous studies in the area construct theoretical framework for the conceptual model, worked out for the purposes of current research. Empirical study investigates motives for entering the Russian seafood market, perceived barriers and choice of ...
