Why do cod females become eggbound? Studies on possible causes and mechanisms

High mortality amoong female cod that are unable to release their eggs is a significant welfare, as well as economic, problem in the cod farming industry, both among broodstock and in ongrowth systems. The underlying causes for this mortality are not full y understood, and it is not clear if the ...

Phylogenetic microarrays and high-throughput sequencing: A new tool for biodiversity assessment in Northern Norway

Utslipp fra menneskelig aktivitet fører til endringer i en rekke økosystemer. Ofte oppdages ikke slike endringer før lenge etter omfattende tap av biodiversitet og store tiltak blir dermed nødvendig for å få på plass utbedringer, om det i det hele tatt er mulig. Utnyttelsen av tilgjengelige ressu...

Generation of gonadless farmed cod by specific ablation of primordial germ cells

One of the greatest problems in cod aquaculture today is the premature onset of sexual maturation. This can be circumvented by sterilizing the fish using a variety of alternative methods, which differ in efficiency and undesired side-effects. In this prop osal we outline a molecular approach for ...
