• Comparative transcriptomics reveals domestication‐associated features of Atlantic salmon lipid metabolism 

      Jin, Yang; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Østensen, Mari-Ann; Li, Keshuai; Santi, Nina; Vadstein, Olav; Bones, Atle M.; Vik, Jon Olav; Sandve, Simen Rød; Olsen, Yngvar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Domestication of animals imposes strong targeted selection for desired traits but can also result in unintended selection due to new domestic environments. Atlantic salmon was domesticated in the 1970s and has subsequently ...
    • Diet and Life Stage-Associated Lipidome Remodeling in Atlantic Salmon 

      Jin, Yang; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Bartosova, Zdenka; Hassani, Sahar; Bruheim, Per; Sandve, Simen Rød; Vik, Jon Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Salmon is an important source of long-chain highly unsaturated fatty acids (LC-HUFAs) such as 22:6n-3 [docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)]. In the present study, we conducted two identical experiments on salmon in freshwater (FW) ...
    • Life-stage associated remodeling of lipid metabolism regulation in Atlantic salmon 

      Gillard, Gareth Benjamin; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Gjuvsland, Arne Bjørke; Jin, Yang; Thomassen, Magny Sissel S.; Lien, Sigbjørn; Leaver, Michael; Torgersen, Jacob Seilø; Hvidsten, Torgeir Rhoden; Vik, Jon Olav; Sandve, Simen Rød (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Atlantic salmon migrates from rivers to sea to feed, grow and develop gonads before returning to spawn in freshwater. The transition to marine habitats is associated with dramatic changes in the environment, including water ...
    • Transcriptional regulation of lipid metabolism when salmon fry switches from endogenous to exogenous feeding 

      Jin, Yang; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Østensen, Mari-Ann; Gillard, Gareth Benjamin; Li, Keshuai; Harvey, Thomas Nelson; Santi, Nina; Vadstein, Olav; Vik, Jon Olav; Sandve, Simen Rød; Olsen, Yngvar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The onset of first feeding is a critical period for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). The fish goes through a dramatic transition, from using the yolk sac as an energy and nutrient resource to rely on exogenous food. However, ...
