Signalling and bioactive metabolites from Streptomyces sp. RK44
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-22)<i>Streptomyces</i> remains one of the prolific sources of structural diversity, and a reservoir to mine for novel natural products. Continued screening for new Streptomyces strains in our laboratory led to the isolation of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. RK44 from the underexplored areas of Kintampo waterfalls, Ghana, Africa. Preliminary screening of the metabolites from this strain resulted in the ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-10)To obtain insight into perceptions of how fish welfare and health is governed in Norwegian aquaculture, this study investigates three conflict cases: salmon lice, pancreas disease and farm siting. Using surveys and in-depth interviews, it highlights challenges and solutions as perceived from different professional groups. The results show that the current inflexible limit of the number of salmon ... -
Quantifying the performance of selective devices by combining analysis of catch data and fish behaviour observations: methodology and case study on a flatfish excluder
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-06)This article describes a method for the quantitative analysis of fish behaviour relative to selection devices in trawl gears. Based on video observations, the method estimates probabilities for a given event to happen and establishes behavioural tree diagrams representing and quantifying behavioural patterns in relation to the selection device under assessment. Double bootstrapping is used to account ... -
Attuning to a changing ocean
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-17)The ocean is a lifeline for human existence, but current practices risk severely undermining ocean sustainability. Present and future social−ecological challenges necessitate the maintenance and development of knowledge and action by stimulating collaboration among scientists and between science, policy, and practice. Here we explore not only how such collaborations have developed in the Nordic ... -
Bats as natural samplers: First record of the invasive pest rice water weevil Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus in the Iberian Peninsula
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-19)We face an increasing global food security challenge as the human population continues to grow across the globe. As agricultural production rises to keep up with food demand, so too does the expansion of crop detrimental pest species. Early detection can be crucial to control their damage and relies on the use of accurate and dependable techniques. We report the first record of rice water weevil ... -

Conflicts and trade-offs in implementing the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) discard policy
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-05-01)The introduction of the Landing Obligation (LO) is one of the most significant reform elements in the 2013 Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). In order to assess how the LO performs as a policy instrument, it is essential to understand the background, objectives and motivation that led to the policy being adopted. With these objectives in mind, a desk-study was first carried out to review relevant policy ... -

Assessment of long-term implementation of sea lice prevention technologies: efficiency in reducing infestations and impact on fish welfare
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-12-21)Salmon lice prevention strategies are steering towards passive implementation, and this study aimed to monitor these strategies in commercial cages over time, to determine the efficiency of these approaches and their effect on welfare. Four strategies were tested at a commercial scale at the Centre for Aquaculture Competence (CAC; funded by CAC and FHF), over a 13-month period. The ... -
Space-use strategy affects energy requirements in Barents Sea polar bears
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)Polar bears Ursus maritimus are currently facing rapid environmental changes with loss of sea ice and shifts in their prey distribution. Two distinct ecotypes exist in the Barents Sea, where sea ice is decreasing at the highest rate in the Arctic. Coastal bears remain within the Archipelago of Svalbard year-round, whereas offshore bears follow the marginal ice zone (MIZ). We explored these 2 ecotypes’ ... -
Cleaner fish in aquaculture: review on diseases and vaccination
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-26)Combating and controlling sea lice causes large economic costs for the farmers, with estimated values of more than 305 million euros (€) per year. Increased resistance against traditional chemotherapeutants due to evolutionary drivers in the sea lice combined with the lack of an effective vaccine and few other chemical treatments available are expected to cause these costs to increase. Several ... -
Detection of specific Atlantic salmon antibodies against salmonid alphavirus using a bead-based immunoassay
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-30)Salmonid alphavirus (SAV) is the etiological cause of pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>). Several vaccines against SAV are in use, but PD still cause significant mortality and concern in European aquaculture, raising the need for optimal tools to monitor SAV immunity. To monitor and control the distribution of PD in Norway, all salmonid farms are regularly screened for SAV ... -
The Atlantic Salmon Gill Transcriptome Response in a Natural Outbreak of Salmon Gill Pox Virus Infection Reveals New Biomarkers of Gill Pathology and Suppression of Mucosal Defense
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-04)The salmon gill poxvirus (SGPV) is a large DNA virus that infects gill epithelial cells in Atlantic salmon and is associated with acute high mortality disease outbreaks in aquaculture. The pathological effects of SGPV infection include gill epithelial apoptosis in the acute phase of the disease and hyperplasia of gill epithelial cells in surviving fish, causing damage to the gill respiratory surface. ... -
Risikorapport norsk fiskeoppdrett 2018
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018)Risikorapporten omhandler både miljøpåvirkninger av havbruk og fiskevelferd, og legger vekt på overordnede problemstillinger som myndighetene vil ha råd om. Metodene som brukes for å risikovurdere er under stadig utvikling, og er oppdatert i årets rapport. På sikt er det ønskelig å kunne utføre regionale risikovurderinger hvor de ulike risikofaktorene sees i sammenheng. Rapporten er bestilt av ... -

Marine biomonitoring with eDNA: Can metabarcoding of water samples cut it as a tool for surveying benthic communities?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-24)In the marine realm, biomonitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA) of benthic communities requires destructive direct sampling or the setting‐up of settlement structures. Comparatively much less effort is required to sample the water column, which can be accessed remotely. In this study we assess the feasibility of obtaining information from the eukaryotic benthic communities by sampling the adjacent ... -
Space-time dynamics in monitoring neotropical fish communities using eDNA metabarcoding
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-01)The biodiverse Neotropical ecoregion remains insufficiently assessed, poorly managed, and threatened by unregulated human activities. Novel, rapid and cost-effective DNA-based approaches are valuable to improve understanding of the biological communities and for biomonitoring in remote areas. Here, we evaluate the potential of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding for assessing the structure and ...
