• Dissecting the loci underlying maturation timing in Atlantic salmon using haplotype and multi-SNP based association methods 

      Sinclair-Waters, Marion; Nome, Torfinn; Wang, Jing; Lien, Sigbjørn; Kent, Matthew Peter; Sægrov, Harald; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Primmer, Craig R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Characterizing the role of different mutational effect sizes in the evolution of fitness-related traits has been a major goal in volutionary biology for a century. Such characterization in a diversity of systems, both model ...
    • Introgression from farmed escapees affects the full life cycle of wild Atlantic salmon 

      Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Karlsson, Sten; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Fiske, Peder; Urdal, Kurt; Sægrov, Harald; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Sollien, Vegard Pedersen; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Jensen, Arne Johan; Hindar, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      After a half a century of salmon farming, we have yet to understand how the influx of genes from farmed escapees affects the full life history of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the wild. Using scale samples of over ...
    • The potential for evolution of resistance to Gyrodactylus salaris in Norwegian Atlantic salmon 

      Karlsson, Sten; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Hansen, Haakon; Jansen, Peder A; Moen, Thomas; Noble, Leslie Robert (NINA rapport, Research report, 2020)
      The ectoparasite, Gyrodactylus salaris, was introduced to Norway in the early 70’s, and has since then been found in 51 salmon rivers. Wherever the parasite has been introduced in Norway, the Atlantic salmon populations ...
