  1. 1. Evolutionary conservation analysis of sequence variants underlying ecological adaptation in Atlantic herring

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Leyi Su; [2023]
    Keywords : Ecological adaptation; Evolutionary conservation; Atlantic herring;

    Abstract : The Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a model organism for exploring the genetic basis of ecological adaptation on account of its large effective population size which greatly restrains the disturbance of genetic drift. In this project, I conducted an evolutionary conservation analysis of the Atlantic herring genome using conservation scores generated by phastCon, phyloP and GERP++ in order to study the sequence variants related to salinity or spawning-time adaptation in Atlantic herring.

  3. 2. Assessment of fish welfare in trawl caught atlantic herring

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Mafalda de Leitão Tomás; [2022]
    Keywords : welfare; pelagic fisheries; clupea harengus; stress;

    Abstract : With the gain of scientific evidence concerning nociception in fish, the awareness about fish's welfare has been increasing not only for authorities but also for consumers. However, there is still a long way to go concerning how fish are being caught and slaughtered. READ MORE

  4. 3. A predator´s diet : prey composition analysis of Atlantic bluefin tuna in Skagerrak and Kattegat

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : William Jaktén Langert; [2022]
    Keywords : Atlantic bluefin tuna; stomach content analysis; fisheries;

    Abstract : Atlantic bluefin tuna is an efficient predator and was a common pelagic species in the north-east Atlantic, including the North Sea and the areas of Skagerrak and Kattegat, in the first half of the 20th century. Following a population collapse in the 1960s, the tuna disappeared from Skagerrak and Kattegatt, however in recent years the tuna has returned to these waters following successful management.

  5. 4. De novo characterization of skeletal muscle transcriptome of Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) using Next Generation Sequencing NGS) : effect of quality and length trimming on transcriptome assembly

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Sangeet Lamichhaney; [2012]
    Keywords : Atlantic herring; transcriptome; RNA sequencing; De novo assembly;

    Abstract : Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus), one of the most abundant fish species on earth is an economically important marine species that is found in the Baltic Sea and on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Although it has been a popular species for marine fish population studies since long, yet the genomic information for Atlantic herring is scarce. READ MORE
