      Sanchez, Maria Quintela; Bhat, Shripathi; Præbel, Kim; Gordeeva, Natalia; Seljestad, Gaute Wilhelmsen; Hanebrekke, Tanja Lexau; Mateos-Rivera, Alejandro; Vikebø, Frode Bendiksen; Zelenia, Daria; Cheng, Chi-Hing Christina; Johansen, Torild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-03)
      The cold-adapted polar cod Boreogadus saida, a key species in Arctic ecosystems, is vulnerable to global warming and ice retreat. In this study, 1257 individuals sampled in 17 locations within the latitudinal range of 75–81°N from Svalbard to East Siberian Sea were genotyped with a dedicated suite of 116 single-nucleotide polymorphic loci (SNP). The overall pattern of isolation by distance (IBD) ...
    • Genetic differentiation between inshore and offshore populations of northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) 

      Hansen, Agneta; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Søvik, Guldborg; Hanebrekke, Tanja Lexau; Nilssen, Einar Magnus; Jorde, Per Erik; Albretsen, Jon; Johansen, Torild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-20)
      Many marine organisms have a permanent presence both inshore and offshore and spawn in multiple areas, yet their status as separate populations or stocks remain unclear. This is the situation for the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) around the Arctic Ocean, which in northern Norway represents an important income for a small-scale coastal fishery and a large-vessel offshore fleet. In Norwegian ...
    • Genetic Inactivation of European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) Eggs Using UV-Irradiation: Observations and Perspectives 

      Colléter, Julie; Penman, David J; Lallement, Stephane; Fauvel, Christian; Hanebrekke, Tanja Lexau; Osvik, Renate Døving; Eilertsen, Hans Christian; D'Cotta, Helena; Chatain, Beatrice; Peruzzi, Stefano (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Androgenesis is a form of uniparental reproduction leading to progenies inheriting only the paternal set of chromosomes. It has been achieved with variable success in a number of freshwater species and can be attained by artificial fertilization of genetically inactivated eggs following exposure to gamma (γ), X-ray or UV irradiation (haploid androgenesis) and by restoration of diploidy by suppression ...
    • Maximizing sampling efficiency to detect differences in fish community composition using environmental DNA metabarcoding in subarctic fjords 

      Guri, Gledis; Westgaard, Jon-Ivar; Yoccoz, Nigel; Wangensteen, Owen S.; Præbel, Kim; Ray, Jessica Louise; Kelly, Ryan P.; Shelton, Andrew Olaf; Hanebrekke, Tanja Lexau; Johansen, Torild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-14)
      Environmental DNA (eDNA) has gained popularity as a tool for ecosystem biomonitoring and biodiversity assessment. Although much progress has been made regarding laboratory and fieldwork protocols, the issue of sampling efficiency requires further investigation, particularly in three-dimensional marine systems. This study focuses on fish community composition in marine ecosystems and aims to analyze ...
    • Movement diversity and partial sympatry of coastal and Northeast Arctic cod ecotypes at high latitudes 

      Strøm, John Fredrik; Bøhn, Thomas; Skjæraasen, Jon Egil; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Karlsen, Ørjan; Johansen, Torild; Hanebrekke, Tanja Lexau; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Olsen, Esben Moland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-24)
      Movement diversity within species represent an important but often neglected, component of biodiversity that affects ecological and genetic interactions, as well as the productivity of exploited systems. By combining individual tracking data from acoustic telemetry with novel genetic analyses, we describe the movement diversity of two Atlantic cod Gadus morhua ecotypes in two high-latitude fjord ...
