DNA double‐strand breaks in Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Bjørnøya in the Norwegian Arctic
Neerland, Eirik D.; Bytingsvik, Jenny; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Evenset, Anita; Krøkje, Åse (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)High levels of organochlorine contaminants (OCs) have been found in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Lake Ellasjøen, Bjørnøya (Norwegian Arctic). The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential genotoxic ... -
Elucidating the Behavior of Cyclic Volatile Methylsiloxanes in a Subarctic Freshwater Food Web: A Modeled and Measured Approach
Krogseth, Ingjerd Sunde; Undeman, Emma Maria; Evenset, Anita; Christensen, Guttorm N.; Whelan, Mick; Breivik, Knut; Warner, Nicholas Alexander (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Cyclic volatile methylsiloxanes (cVMS) are used in personal care products and emitted to aquatic environments through wastewater effluents, and their bioaccumulation potential is debated. Here, a new bentho-pelagic version ... -
Expression of DNA repair genes in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Bjørnøya in the Norwegian Arctic
Inderberg, Helene; Neerland, Eirik D.; Mcpartland, Molly; Sparstad, Torfinn; Bytingsvik, Jenny; Nikiforov, Vladimir A; Evenset, Anita; Krøkje, Åse (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)High levels of organochlorines (OCs) have been measured in arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) from Lake Ellasjøen on Bjørnøya, Norway (74.30°N, 19.0°E). In a nearby lake, Laksvatn, the OC-levels in arctic char were low. A ... -
