(Journal article, 2017)An important aim of the IWRM Institutional Building and Training project is to pilot test the river basin management approach in Myanmar. The purpose is to investigate how cooperation between different sectors on river ... -
Potensialet for bruk av folkeforskning og nettdugnad i vannforvaltningen - perspektiver blant aktører i Norge
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Denne artikkelen tar for seg potensialet for bruk av folkeforskning (citizen science) og nettdugnad (crowdsourcing) i vannforvaltningen og gjennomføringen av vannforskriften. Folkeforskning og nettdugnad er måter å involvere ... -
Ecological risk assessment at the food web scale: A case study of a mercury contaminated oilfield
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mercury, particularly methylmercury, can accumulate through food webs and generate high risks for species at higher trophic levels. Inorganic mercury can be methylated into the organic species methylmercury if suitable ... -
Demonstrasjon av anvendelsesområdet for en online partikkelteller i vannforsyningssystemet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gjennom drikkevannsforskriften er vannverkene pålagt å ha tilstrekkelige hygieniske barrierer for å sikre helsemessig trygt drikkevann til enhver tid ute hos abonnentene. Adekvate overvåkningssystemer er nødvendige for å ... -
Effects of artificial ultraviolet B radiation on the macrophyte Lemna minor: a conceptual study for toxicity pathway characterization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Macrophytes inhabit waterways around the world and are used in hydroponics or aquaponics for different purposes such as feed and wastewater treatment and are thus exposed to elevated levels of UVB from natural and artificial ... -
Wastewater-based estimation of the prevalence of gout in Australia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Allopurinol, a first-line gout treatment drug in Australia, was assessed as a wastewater-based epidemiology biomarker of gout via quantification of the urinary metabolite, oxypurinol in wastewater. The in-sewer stability ... -
Identification and quantification of selected plastics in biosolids by pressurized liquid extraction combined with double-shot pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The identification and quantification of selected plastics (polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC), poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl ... -
Determining the risk of calcium oxide (CaO) particle exposure to marine organisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Calcium oxide (CaO) is being considered as a possible treatment for both the control of echinoderm populations and the treatment against sea lice infestation in Norwegian salmon farms. CaO particles produce an exothermal ... -
Advancing Through the Pandemic From the Perspective of Marine Graduate Researchers: Challenges, Solutions, and Opportunities
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a new social and academic reality to researchers worldwide. The field of marine science, our own topic of interest, has also been impacted in multiple ways, from cancelation ... -
Concentration and distribution of naphthenic acids in the produced water from offshore Norwegian North Sea oilfields
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Naphthenic acids (NAs) constitute one of the toxic components of the produced water (PW) from offshore oil platforms discharged into the marine environment. We employed liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to high-resolution ... -
No environmental effect on vaccine-induced reduced growth in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Oil-adjuvanted vaccines reduce long-term growth in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, possibly via an increase in metabolic rate due to the energetic demands of the immune system. We tested this hypothesis by comparing ... -
Comparing DADA2 and OTU clustering approaches in studying the bacterial communities of atopic dermatitis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction. The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is not yet fully understood, but the bacterial composition of AD patients’ skin has been shown to have an increased abundance of Staphylococcus aureus. More recently, ... -
Acute effects of gas supersaturation on Atlantic salmon smolt in two Norwegian rivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Total dissolved gas (TDG) supersaturation downstream of hydropower plants may cause gas bubble disease (GBD) and harmful effects in fish. Little is known about tolerance levels of TDG supersaturation on Atlantic salmon ... -
A contribution to the knowledge of charophytes in Myanmar; morphological and genetic identification and ecology notes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Information on the distribution and species composition of charophytes in Myanmar is scarce. Only a few studies on charophytes in ponds were conducted in Myanmar at the end of the nineteenth and first half of the twentieth ... -
Long-term mark-recapture and growth data for large-sized migratory brown trout (Salmo trutta) from Lake Mjøsa, Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Long-term data from marked animals provide a wealth of opportunities for studies with high relevance to both basic ecological understanding and successful management in a changing world. The key strength of such data is ... -
Transformation Kinetics of Burnt Lime in Freshwater and Sea Water
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Calcium oxide (CaO), also known as burnt lime, is being considered as a possible treatment to reduce the negative impact of sea urchins on tare forests in northern coastal waters and blue-green algal blooms in the surrounding ... -
Organic nitrogen steadily increasing in Norwegian rivers draining to the Skagerrak coast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Declining atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, through reduction in the direct input of inorganic N, may result in less inorganic N being leached from soils to freshwaters (dissolved inorganic N = DIN). Declining sulphur ... -
Environmental effects of offshore produced water discharges: A review focused on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Produced water (PW), a large byproduct of offshore oil and gas extraction, is reinjected to formations or discharged to the sea after treatment. The discharges contain dispersed crude oil, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ... -
