Deciphering Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra L.) and seal (Phoca vitulina L.; Halichoerus grypus F.) diet: Metabarcoding tailored for fresh and saltwater fish species

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 19, Page 5089-5106, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging ecology of seals and Eurasian otters in Western Europe are outdated and most studies solely performed traditional hard part analysis.

Comparative Molecular Characterization of Novel and Known Piscine Toti-Like Viruses

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Totiviridae is a virus family well known to infect uni-cellular organisms like fungi and protozoa. In more recent years, viruses characterized as toti-like viruses, have been found in primarily arthropods, but also a couple in planarians and piscine ...

Ontogeny of a tessellated surface: Carapace growth of the longhorn cowfish Lactoria cornuta

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 3, Page 565-580, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Biological armors derive their mechanical integrity in part from their geometric architectures, often involving tessellations: individual structural elements tiled together to form surface shells. The carapace of boxfish, for example, is composed of mineralized polygonal plates, called scutes, arranged in a complex geometric pattern and nearly

Interleukin-1 Ligands and Receptors in Lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.): Molecular Characterization, Phylogeny, Gene Expression, and Transcriptome Analyses

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The interleukin (IL)-1 family play a fundamental role as immune system modulators. Our previous transcriptome-analyses of leukocytes from lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.) showed that IL-1β was among the most highly upregulated genes following bacterial ...

qPCR screening for Yersinia ruckeri clonal complex 1 against a background of putatively avirulent strains in Norwegian aquaculture

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 45, Issue 8, Page 1211-1224, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Although a number of genetically diverse Yersinia ruckeri strains are present in Norwegian aquaculture environments, most if not all outbreaks of yersiniosis in Atlantic salmon in Norway are associated with a single specific genetic lineage of serotype O1, termed clonal complex 1.

Influence of offshore oil and gas structures on seascape ecological connectivity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 3515-3536, June 2022., 2022
Offshore platforms and related fixed structures supporting the oil and gas (O&G) industry are prevalent in all oceans. We review current knowledge on the role of O&G infrastructure in maintaining, altering or enhancing ecological seascape connectivity. There is a paucity of studies assessing connectivity and O&G structures.

Spatiotemporal Variation in Distribution, Size, and Relative Abundance within a Salish Sea Nearshore Forage Fish Community

open access: yesMarine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Forage fish are schooling species commonly occurring in both offshore pelagic and nearshore coastal habitats. Beyond use by some species for spawning, the dynamics of nearshore habitat use are not well understood. The objective of our study was to evaluate the spring–summer dynamics of forage fish occurrence in nearshore habitats of the Strait

Antibacterial treatment of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) experimentally challenged with Vibrio anguillarum, atypical Aeromonas salmonicida and Pasteurella atlantica

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 153-163, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Lumpfish is a novel farmed species used as cleaner fish for the removal of lice from farmed salmon. As often with new, farmed species, there are challenges with bacterial infections. The frequency of prescription of antibiotic agents to lumpfish is increasing, despite the lack of knowledge about appropriate doses, duration of treatment and ...

Use of lumpfish for sea-lice control in salmon farming: challenges and opportunities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Efficient sea-lice control remains one of the most important challenges for the salmon farming industry. The use of wrasse (Labridae) as cleaner fish offers an alternative to medicines for sea-lice control, but wrasse tend to become inactive in winter ...
