• Adaptive Sampling of Surface Fronts in the Arctic Using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle 

      Fossum, Trygve Olav; Norgren, Petter; Fer, Ilker; Nilsen, Frank; Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Ludvigsen, Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Fronts between Arctic- and Atlantic-origin waters are characterized by strong lateral gradients in temperature and salinity. Ocean processes associated with fronts are complex with considerable space and time variability. ...
    • Aquaculture-driven evolution of the salmon louse mtDNA genome 

      Rutle, Karoline Hasti; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Nilsen, Frank; Mateos-Rivera, Alejandro; Sørvik, Anne Grete Eide; Jansson, Eeva; Quintela, Maria; Besnier, Francois; Ayllon, Fernando; Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Glover, Kevin Alan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Resistance toward the antiparasitic pyrethroid, deltamethrin, is reported in the Atlantic salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis salmonis), a persistent ectoparasite of farmed and wild salmonids. The resistance mechanism ...
    • Aquaculture-driven evolution: distribution of pyrethroid resistance in the salmon louse throughout the North Atlantic in the years 2000–2017 

      Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Espedal, Per Gunnar; Stene, Anne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Aspehaug, Vidar; Glover, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The parasitic salmon louse, and its documented resistance to chemotherapeutants, represents the most persistent environmental challenge to global salmonid aquaculture. We used a genetic marker associated with pyrethroid ...
    • Losing the 'arms race': Multiresistant salmon lice are dispersed throughout the North Atlantic Ocean 

      Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Glover, Kevin Alan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Nothing lasts forever, including the effect of chemicals aimed to control pests in food production. As old pesticides have been compromised by emerging resistance, new ones have been introduced and turned the odds back in ...
    • Salmon lice sampled from wild Atlantic salmon and sea trout throughout Norway display high frequencies of the genotype Associated with pyrethroid resistance 

      Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Nilsen, Frank; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Finstad, Bengt; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Atlantic salmon Salmo salar aquaculture is based on the use of open-pen sea cages, with the consequence that farmed fish are both recipients and sources of pathogens from surrounding waters. Currently, the parasitic salmon ...
    • Still Arctic? — The changing Barents Sea 

      Gerland, Sebastian; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Reigstad, Marit; Sundfjord, Arild; Bogstad, Bjarte; Chierici, Melissa; Hop, Haakon; Renaud, Paul Eric; Smedsrud, Lars Henrik; Stige, Leif Christian; Årthun, Marius; Berge, Jørgen; Bluhm, Bodil Annikki Ulla Barbro; Borgå, Katrine; Bratbak, Gunnar; Divine, Dmitry V; Eldevik, Tor; Eriksen, Elena; Fer, Ilker; Fransson, Agneta; Gradinger, Rolf Rudolf; Granskog, Mats A.; Haug, Tore; Husum, Katrine; Johnsen, Geir; Jonassen, Marius Opsanger; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Kristiansen, Svein; Larsen, Aud; Lien, Vidar Surén; Lind, Sigrid; Lindstrøm, Ulf Ove; Mauritzen, Cecilie; Melsom, Arne; Mernild, Sebastian H.; Müller, Malte; Nilsen, Frank; Primicerio, Raul; Søreide, Janne; van der Meeren, Gro Ingleid; Wassmann, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The Barents Sea is one of the Polar regions where current climate and ecosystem change is most pronounced. Here we review the current state of knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological systems in the Barents Sea. ...
    • The mechanism (Phe362Tyr mutation) behind resistance in Lepeophtheirus salmonis pre-dates organophosphate use in salmon farming 

      Kaur, Kiranpreet; Besnier, Francois; Glover, Kevin; Nilsen, Frank; Aspehaug, Vidar Teis; Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Horsberg, Tor Einar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The salmon louse is an ectoparasitic copepod of salmonids in the marine environment, and represents a global challenge to salmon aquaculture. A major issue is the reliance of the industry on a limited number of chemicals ...
    • The Phe362Tyr mutation conveying resistance to organophosphates occurs in high frequencies in salmon lice collected from wild salmon and trout 

      Fjørtoft, Helene Børretzen; Besnier, Francois; Stene, Anne; Nilsen, Frank; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Tveten, Ann-Kristin; Finstad, Bengt; Aspehaug, Vidar; Glover, Kevin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The parasitic salmon louse, and its resistance to chemical delousing agents, represents one of the largest challenges to the salmon aquaculture industry. We genotyped lice sampled from wild salmon and sea trout throughout ...
