Journal ArticleDOI
Control of puberty in farmed fish
Geir Lasse Taranger,Manuel Carrillo,Rüdiger W. Schulz,Pascal Fontaine,Silvia Zanuy,Alicia Felip,Finn-Arne Weltzien,Sylvie Dufour,Ørjan Karlsen,Birgitta Norberg,Eva Andersson,Tom Hansen +11 more
TL;DR: Puberty comprises the transition from an immature juvenile to a mature adult state of the reproductive system, i.e. the individual becomes capable of reproducing sexually for the first time, which implies functional competence of the brain-pituitary-gonad (BPG) axis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk assessment of the environmental impact of Norwegian Atlantic salmon farming
Geir Lasse Taranger,Ørjan Karlsen,Raymond Bannister,Kevin A. Glover,Vivian Husa,Egil Karlsbakk,Bjørn Olav Kvamme,Karin Boxaspen,Pål Arne Bjørn,Bengt Finstad,Abdullah Sami Madhun,H. Craig Morton,Terje Svåsand +12 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that discharge levels in the North Sea are decreasing with age, but the pace of decline is still slow compared with that in the Baltic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth, gonadal development and spawning time of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) reared under different photoperiods
Tom Hansen,Ørjan Karlsen,Geir Lasse Taranger,Gro-Ingunn Hemre,Jens-Christian Holm,Olav Sigurd Kjesbu +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that a reduction in daylength is a vital environmental signal regulating the maturation and spawning of cod, and that sexual maturation may be arrested or considerably delayed in its absence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dnd knockout ablates germ cells and demonstrates germ cell independent sex differentiation in Atlantic salmon
Anna Wargelius,Sven Dirk Leininger,Kai Ove Skaftnesmo,Lene Kleppe,Eva Andersson,Geir Lasse Taranger,Rüdiger W. Schulz,Rolf B. Edvardsen +7 more
TL;DR: Investigating whether it is possible to produce germ cell-free salmon in F0 by using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out dnd, a factor required for germ cell survival in vertebrates found it to be so, and revealing that sex differentiation of the somatic compartment does not depend on the presence of germ cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
The vgll3 Locus Controls Age at Maturity in Wild and Domesticated Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) Males
Fernando Ayllon,Erik Kjærner-Semb,Tomasz Furmanek,Vidar Wennevik,Monica Favnebøe Solberg,Geir Olav Dahle,Geir Lasse Taranger,Kevin A. Glover,Markus Sällman Almén,Carl J. Rubin,Rolf B. Edvardsen,Anna Wargelius +11 more
TL;DR: A single locus was found to have a highly significant role in governing sea age at maturation in this species and may be both used as markers to guide breeding for late maturity in salmon aquaculture and in monitoring programs of wild salmon.
