• Aspects of reproductive biology of wild-caught polar cod (Boreogadus saida) from Svalbard waters 

      Nahrgang, Jasmine; Storhaug, Ekaterina; Murzina, Svetlana; Delmas, Olympe; Nemova, Nina N.; Berge, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-27)
      Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) is considered a key species in the Arctic marine ecosystems. Yet detailed or even basic knowledge regarding its biology and adaptations, especially during the polar night, is in many cases poor. Data are presently unavailable in Western literature on the gonad development of polar cod and its reproductive biology in wild specimens. Accordingly, gonad development of ...

      Climate change and pollution resulting from human activities in the Arctic require reliable monitoring systems in sentinel species. Mytilus spp. are used as sentinel species all around the world. The use of Mytilus spp. in environmental monitoring requires knowledge about natural variations in pollution biomarkers. Seasonal variations in baseline levels of biomarkers were studied over a year in the ...
