    • DNA double-strand breaks in relation to persistent organic pollutants in a fasting seabird 

      Fenstad, Anette; Jenssen, Bjørn Munro; Moe, Børge; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Bingham, Christopher George; Herzke, Dorte; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Krøkje, Åse (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Lipophilic persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are released from fat reserves during fasting, causing increased blood concentrations. Thus, POPs represent a potential anthropogenic stressor during fasting periods. We ...

    • Expression of DNA repair genes in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Bjørnøya in the Norwegian Arctic 

      Inderberg, Helene; Neerland, Eirik D.; Mcpartland, Molly; Sparstad, Torfinn; Bytingsvik, Jenny; Nikiforov, Vladimir A; Evenset, Anita; Krøkje, Åse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      High levels of organochlorines (OCs) have been measured in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Lake Ellasjøen on Bjørnøya, Norway (74.30°N, 19.0°E). In a nearby lake, Laksvatn, the OC-levels in arctic char were low. A ...

    • Growth and metabolism of adult polar cod (Boreogadus saida) in response to dietary crude oil 

      Nahrgang, Jasmine; Bender, Morgan Lizabeth; Meier, Sonnich; Nechev, Jordan; Berge, Jørgen; Frantzen, marianne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The increasing human presence in the Arctic shelf seas, with the expansion of oil and gas industries and maritime shipping, poses a risk for Arctic marine organisms such as the key species polar cod (Boreogadus saida). The ...

    • The impact of exposure timing on embryo mortality and the partitioning of PAHs when cod eggs are exposed to dispersed and dissolved crude oil 

      Nordtug, Trond; Olsen, Anders Johny; Wold, Per-Arvid; Salaberria, Iurgi; Øverjordet, Ida Beathe; Altin, Dag; Kjørsvik, Elin; Hansen, Bjørn Henrik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      During sub-sea oil spills to the marine environment, oil droplets will rise towards the sea surface at a rate determined by their density and diameter as well as the vertical turbulence in the water. Micro-droplets (< 50 ...

    • In ovo transformation of two emerging flame retardants in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) 

      Briels, Nathalie; Løseth, Mari Engvig; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Malarvannan, Govindan; Poma, Giulia; Kjærvik, Sara Alainezhad; Léon, Alexis; Cariou, Ronan; Covaci, Adrian; Jaspers, Veerle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP) and Dechlorane Plus (DP) are two chlorinated, alternative flame retardants that have been found in wild birds and bird eggs. Little is known about the fate and effect of these ...

    • Microplastics could be marginally more hazardous than natural suspended solids - A meta-analysis 

      Ogonowski, Martin; Wagner, Martin; Rogell, Björn; Haave, Marte; Lusher, Amy Lorraine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Microplastics (MP) are perceived as a threat to aquatic ecosystems but bear many similarities to suspended sediments which are often considered less harmful. It is, therefore pertinent to determine if and to what extent ...

    • Trace element concentrations in feathers and blood of Northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) nestlings from Norway and Spain 

      Dolan, Kevin J.; Ciesielski, Tomasz Maciej; Lierhagen, Syverin; Eulaers, Igor; Nygård, Torgeir; Johnsen, Trond Vidar; Gómez-Ramírez, Pilar; García-Fernández, Antonio J.; Bustnes, Jan Ove; Ortiz-Santaliestra, Manuel E.; Jaspers, Veerle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Information on trace element pollution in the terrestrial environment and its biota is limited compared to the marine environment. In the present study, we collected body feathers and blood of 37 Northern goshawk (Accipiter ...
