    • Effects of weathered polyethylene microplastic ingestion on sexual maturation, fecundity and egg quality in maturing broodstock Atlantic cod Gadus morhua 

      Fernández-Míguez, Maria; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Burgerhout, Erik; Presa, Pablo; Tveiten, Helge; Vorkamp, Katrin; Hansen, Øyvind J; Johansson, Gunhild Seljehaug; Bogevik, André Sture (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-09)
      Microplastics (MPs) have become a global issue as they are omnipresent in the ocean. Fish ingesting MPs through feed could be affected in their physiological function, e.g., disrupted enzyme production and function, reduction of feeding and reproductive failure. This study assessed the effects of feed containing naturally weathered MPs from the Oslofjord (Norway) on the reproductive physiology of ...
    • Optimizing intensive culture protocols for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae 

      Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Swain, Trilochan; Tveiten, Helge; Hansen, Øyvind J; Mortensen, Atle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-22)
      Larval cod require live prey as food, and prey concentration (PC) and feeding frequency (FF) often afect their growth and survival. Apart from this, water exchange rates/water fow (WER/WF) and water current (WC) also afect the prey resident time in the tank and larval/early juvenile behaviour, respectively. High water current is also known to induce stress in fnfsh larvae, and this stress response ...
    • Spawning time in adult polar cod (Boreogadus saida) altered by crude oil exposure, independent of food availability 

      Strople, Leah Catherine; Vieweg, Ireen; Yadetie, Fekadu; Odei, Derrick Kwame; Thorsen, Anders; Karlsen, Odd André; Goksøyr, Anders; Sørensen, Lisbet; Sarno, Antonio; Hansen, Bjørn Henrik; Frantzen, marianne; Hansen, Øyvind J; Puvanendran, Velmurugu; Nahrgang, Jasmine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-03)
      Fish early life stages are well known for their sensitivity to crude oil exposure. However, the effect of crude oil exposure on adults and their gametes during their spawning period is not well studied. Polar cod, a key arctic fish, may be at risk for crude oil exposure during this potentially sensitive life stage. Additionally, this species experiences lower food availability during their spawning ...
