• Chrysochromulina leadbeateri - Understanding the Presumed Causal Agent Behind the Harmful Algal Bloom of 2019 

      Grann-Meyer, Erlend (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-18)
      In the Spring of 2019, a harmful algal bloom (HAB) of Chrysochromulina leadbeateri decimated 14 500 tonnes of caged salmon in the Northern Norwegian coastal regions. C. leadbeateri is a natural part of the marine microbiome along the Norwegian coast, and similar events have happened in the past. To heighten our understanding of how these HABs develops, and capacity of the causal agent as a harmful ...

      A harmful algal bloom occurred in late spring 2019 across multiple, interconnected fjords and bays in northern Norway. The event was caused by the haptophyte Chrysochromulina leadbeateri and led to severe fish mortality at several salmon aquaculture facilities. This study reports on the spatial and temporal succession dynamics of the holistic marine microbiome associated with this bloom by relating ...
