      Lusher, Amy; Hurley, Rachel; Arp, Hans Peter H; Booth, Andy; Bråte, Inger Lise Nerland; Gabrielsen, Geir W.; Gomiero, Alessio; Gomes, Tania; Grøsvik, Bjørn Einar; Green, Norman; Haave, Marte; Hallanger, Ingeborg G.; Halsband, Claudia; Herzke, Dorte; Joner, Erik J; Kögel, Tanja; Rakkestad, Kirsten; Ranneklev, Sissel Brit; Wagner, Martin; Olsen, Marianne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Given the increasing attention on the occurrence of microplastics in the environment, and the potential envi-ronmental threats they pose, there is a need for researchers to move quickly from basic understanding to applied ...
    • Quantification of microplastic in fillet and organs of farmed and wild salmonids- a comparison of methods for detection and quantification 

      Gomiero, Alessio; Haave, Marte; Bjorøy, Ørjan; Herzke, Dorte; Kögel, Tanja; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Øysæd, Kjell Birger (Research report, 2020)
      Microplastic (MP) is of growing concern to environmental and human health. This study investigated three analytical approaches to measure MP in tissues of salmonids. The study aimed to 1) determine and demonstrate the ...
