• A cold-water fish striving in a warming ocean: Insights from whole-genome sequencing of the Greenland halibut in the Northwest Atlantic 

      Ferchaud, Anne-Laure; Normandeau, Eric; Babin, Charles; Præbel, Kim; Hedeholm, Rasmus; Audet, Celine; Morgan, Joanne; Walkusz, Wojciech; Sirois, Pascal; Bernatchez, Louis (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-02)
      Characterizing the extent of genetic differentiation among individuals and its distribution across the genome is increasingly important to inform both conservation and management of exploited species. The Greenland Halibut is one of the main demersal fish species to be commercially exploited in Eastern Canada, and accurate information on geographic population structure and local adaptation is required ...
    • Greenland Shark (Somniosus microcephalus) stomach contents and stable isotope values reveal an ontogenetic dietary shift 

      Nielsen, Julius; Christiansen, Jørgen Schou; Grønkjær, Peter; Bushnell, Peter G.; Steffensen, John Fleng; Kiilerich, Helene O.; Præbel, Kim; Hedeholm, Rasmus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
      Current knowledge on the feeding ecology of the Greenland shark (<i>Somniosus microcephalus</i>), a potential top predator in arctic marine ecosystems, is based on small sample sizes as well as narrow size ranges of sharks. Therefore, potential size-related feeding patterns remain poorly documented. Using stomach content data (<i>N</i> = 88) and stable isotope values of white muscle tissue (<i>N</i> ...
    • Validation of pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in a Greenland fjord 

      Nielsen, Julius; Estévez-Barcia, Daniel; Post, Søren; Christensen, Helle Torp; Retzel, Anja; Meire, Lorenz; Rigét, Frank; Strøm, John Frederik; Rikardsen, Audun H.; Hedeholm, Rasmus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-28)
      Traditional tagging techniques are simple and cost-effective, but inferences require recaptures and data on movement/migration are limited to a start and end position at unpredictable intervals. Pop-up satellite archival tags (PSATs) offer other opportunities, as they provide positions at pre-programmed times and collect on-route data, which can be used to describe position, behavior, and habitat ...
