In Inland China, Rice, Rather than Fish, Is the Major Pathway for Methylmercury Exposure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Fish consumption is considered the primary pathway of methylmercury (MeHg) exposure for most people in the world. However, in the inland regions of China, most of the residents eat little fish, but they live ... -
Polychaetes from Jan Mayen (Annelida, Polychaeta)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)A thorough literature review has been undertaken to establish the first complete account of polychaetes recorded from the area around the volcanic island of Jan Mayen. The annotated checklist lists 121 species-level taxa, ... -
Seasonal variation in marine C:N:P stoichiometry: can the composition of seston explain stable Redfield ratios?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Seston is suspended particulate organic matter, comprising a mixture of autotrophic, heterotrophic and detrital material. Despite variable proportions of these components, marine seston often exhibits relatively small ... -
Accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls from contaminated sediment by Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): Direct accumulation from resuspended sediment and dietary accumulation via the polychaete Nereis virens
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Bioaccumulation of sediment‐associated polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was examined in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) through direct diffusion from the sediment (via the water phase) and through the food chain (dietary ... -
Impact of an icy winter on the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, 1793) populations in Scandinavia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) is an invasive species that has dispersed into Scandinavia during the last few decades. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of extreme winter conditions on the ... -
Monitoring marine populations and communities: methods dealing with imperfect detectability

Gene Flow, Recombination, and Selection in Cyanobacteria: Population Structure of Geographically Related Planktothrix Freshwater Strains
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Several Planktothrix strains, each producing a distinct oligopeptide profile, have been shown to coexist within Lake Steinsfjorden (Norway). Using nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes as markers, it has been shown ... -
Interactions between pH and nutrients on benthic algae in streams and consequences for ecological status assessment and species richness patterns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Eutrophication and acidification are among the major stressors on freshwater ecosystems in northern Europe and North America, but possible consequences of interactions between pH and nutrients on ecological status assessment ... -
Environmental impacts of produced water and drilling waste discharges from the Norwegian offshore petroleum industry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Operational discharges of produced water and drill cuttings from offshore oil and gas platforms are a continuous source of contaminants to continental shelf ecosystems. This paper reviews recent research on the biological ... -
Screening for Stockholm Convention persistent organic pollutants in the Bosna River (Bosnia and Herzogovina)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The Stockholm Convention, which aspires to manage persistent organic pollutants (POPs) at the international level, was recently ratified in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Despite this fact, there is in general a paucity of ... -
Diel and seasonal movements of the critically endangered European eel
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)The critically endangered European eel is declining throughout its range and more information on which to base management plans is necessary. Here we present data collected by electrofishing and PIT telemetry on the habitat ... -
Estimating trophic levels and trophic magnification factors using Bayesian inference
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Food web biomagnification is increasingly assessed by estimating trophic magnification factors (TMF) where solvent (often lipid) normalized contaminant concentration is regressed onto the trophic level, and TMFs are ... -
In vivo bioaccumulation of contaminants from historically polluted sediments - Relation to bioavailability estimates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Many contaminants are recalcitrant against degradation. Therefore, when primary sources have been discontinued, contaminated sediments often function as important secondary pollution sources. Since the management and ... -
Disinfection by-products and ecotoxicity of ballast water after oxidative treatment – Results and experiences from seven years of full-scale testing of ballast water management systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since 2005, five different ballast water management systems (BWMS) based on chlorination treatment have been tested by Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) according to guidelines from the International Maritime ... -
Environmental harm assessment of a wastewater discharge from Hammerfest LNG: A study with biomarkers in mussels (Mytilus sp.) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Biologically treated wastewater (WW) from the Hammerfest LNG (liquefied natural gas) plant is discharged to the sea. A study using biomarkers in mussels and Atlantic cod was performed to examine whether this discharge meets ... -
Juncus bulbosus nuisance growth in oligotrophic freshwater ecosystems: Different triggers for the same phenomenon in rivers and lakes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Since the 1980s nuisance growth of the aquatic macrophyte Juncus bulbosus has been observed in an increasing number of rivers and lakes in Europe. Freshwater acidification, lake liming, as well as the impact of hydropower ... -
Temperature acclimation and heat tolerance of photosynthesis in Norwegian Saccharina latissima (Laminariales, Phaeophyceae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Kelps, seaweeds and seagrasses provide important ecosystem services in coastal areas, and loss of these macrophytes is a global concern. Recent surveys have documented severe declines in populations of the dominant kelp ... -
