Fluorine mass balance analysis of selected environmental samples from Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The presence of unidentified organofluorine compounds (UOF) has been investigated in recent publication, but their environmental occurrence is still poorly understood. Fluorine mass balance analysis was performed on ... -
Modelling the influence from biota and organic matter on the transport dynamics of microplastics in the water column and bottom sediments in the Oslo fjord
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The fate of microplastics (MP) in seawater is heavily influenced by the biota: the density of MP particles can be changed due to biofouling, which affects sinking, or MP can be digested by zooplankton and transferred into ... -
How Can the Scope of a New Global Legally Binding Agreement on Plastic Pollution to Facilitate an Efficient Negotiation Be Clearly Defined?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Sediment toxicity assessment using zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model system: Historical review, research gaps and trends
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sediment is an important compartment in aquatic environments and acts as a sink for environmental pollutants. Sediment toxicity tests have been suggested as critical components in environmental risk assessment. Since the ... -
Susceptibility of polar cod (Boreogadus saida) to a model carcinogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Studies that aim to characterise the susceptibility of the ecologically relevant and non-model fish polar cod (Boreogadus saida) to model carcinogens are required. Polar cod were exposed under laboratory conditions for six ... -
Effects of simulated environmental discharges of the salmon lice pesticides deltamethrin and azamethiphos on the swimming behaviour and survival of adult Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Swimming behaviour was investigated in adult egg-carrying northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) exposed to dilute concentrations of the pesticides Alpha Max® (active ingredient deltamethrin) and Salmosan® (active ingredient ... -
Unfolding the interaction between microplastics and (trace) elements in water: A critical review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Plastic and microplastic pollution is an environmental and societal concern. The interaction of plastic with organic chemicals in the environment has attracted scientific interest. New evidences have highlighted an ... -
A Decade of Incorporating Social Sciences in the Integrated Marine Biosphere Research Project (IMBeR): Much Done, Much to Do?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Successful management and mitigation of marine challenges depends on cooperation and knowledge sharing which often occurs across culturally diverse geographic regions. Global ocean science collaboration is therefore essential ... -
Associations between timing and magnitude of spring blooms and zooplankton dynamics in the southwestern Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the past decades, many high-latitude marine systems have experienced a strong warming trend with poorly understood consequences for trophic coupling and ecosystem functioning. A key knowledge gap is how timing and ... -
Within-Body Distributions and Feeding Effects of the Neonicotinoid Insecticide Clothianidin in Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Bumblebees can be exposed to neonicotinoid pesticides through nectar and pollen collected from treated crops, which can cause lethal and sublethal effects in these nontarget pollinators. However, the body distribution of ... -
Environmental effects on Calanus finmarchicus abundance and depth distribution in the Barents Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The vertical migrations performed by zooplankton at daily and seasonal scales are important for marine ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. We analysed associations between seasonal variation in abundance and depth ... -
On the Possibility of Aerobic Methane Production by Pelagic Microbial Communities of the Laptev Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The taxonomic diversity and metabolic activity of microbial communities in the Laptev Sea water column above and outside the methane seep field were studied. The concentrations of dissolved methane in the water column at ... -
Satellite Observations Are Needed to Understand Ocean Acidification and Multi-Stressor Impacts on Fish Stocks in a Changing Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)It is widely projected that under future climate scenarios the economic importance of Arctic Ocean fish stocks will increase. The Arctic Ocean is especially vulnerable to ocean acidification and already experiences low pH ... -
Relating environmental pressures to littoral biological water quality indicators in Western Balkan lakes: Can we fill the largest gaps?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Along six transects in each of six lakes across the Western Balkans, we collected data for three groups of littoral biological water quality indicators: epilithic diatoms, macrophytes, and benthic invertebrates. We assessed ... -
Macroinvertebrate communities along the main stem and tributaries of a pre-Alpine river: composition responds to altitude, richness does not
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)We collected quantitative macroinvertebrate samples and measured environmental and geographical parameters at 13 sites: six along the main stem and seven in tributaries close to the main channel over a 700 m gradient in ... -
Effects of nitrogen enrichment on zooplankton biomass and N:P recycling ratios across a DOC gradient in northern-latitude lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We used data from whole-lake studies to assess how changes in food quantity (phytoplankton biomass) and quality (phytoplankton community composition, seston C:P and N:P) with N fertilization affect zooplankton biomass, ... -
Dead or alive — Old empty shells do not prompt false-positive results in environmental DNA surveys targeting the freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera L.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental DNA (eDNA) from water samples is increasingly used to detect the presence and distribution of species in aquatic ecosystems. However, before implementing eDNA in monitoring programmes, various species-specific ... -
A multilevel dataset of microplastic abundance in the world’s upper ocean and the Laurentian Great Lakes
(Journal article, 2021)A total of 8218 pelagic microplastic samples from the world’s oceans were synthesized to create a dataset composed of raw, calibrated, processed, and gridded data which are made available to the public. The raw microplastic ... -
Forested Riparian Zones Provide Important Habitat for Fish in Urban Streams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Riparian zones form a boundary between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with disproportionate influences on food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning in both habitats. However, riparian boundaries are frequently ... -
Towards sustainable management of kelp forests: An analysis of adaptive governance in developing regimes for wild kelp harvesting in Scotland and Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Kelp forests are highly productive habitats which support important marine species and ecosystem services including coastal protection and carbon storage. Demand is increasing for commercial products from wild and cultivated ...
