Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Sigurd O. Stefansson mostly deals with Animal science, Salmo, Ecology, Endocrinology and photoperiodism. Sigurd O. Stefansson has included themes like Smoltification, Salmonidae, Turbot, Juvenile and Seawater in his Animal science study. His Juvenile research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hippoglossus hippoglossus and Halibut.

His research in Salmo focuses on subjects like Fishery, which are connected to Aquaculture, Gadidae and Gadus. His work deals with themes such as Enzyme assay and Fish migration, which intersect with Endocrinology. Sigurd O. Stefansson has included themes like Sexual maturity, Hatching and Darkness in his photoperiodism study.

His most cited work include:

  • Temperature- and size-dependent growth of larval and early juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): a comparative study of Norwegian coastal cod and northeast Arctic cod (257 citations)
  • The effect of temperature and fish size on growth, feed intake, food conversion efficiency and stomach evacuation rate of Atlantic salmon post-smolts (252 citations)
  • The interaction of temperature and salinity on growth and food conversion in juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) (209 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Salmo, Juvenile, Smoltification and photoperiodism. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ecology, Salinity, Fishery and Aquaculture. The Salmo study combines topics in areas such as Seawater, Zoology, Endocrinology and Broodstock.

His Juvenile study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Turbot, Scophthalmus, Hippoglossus hippoglossus, Halibut and Atlantic cod. His studies in Smoltification integrate themes in fields like Hypothalamus, Fish migration, Acclimatization, Osmoregulation and Gill. His photoperiodism research incorporates elements of Sexual maturity, Fish farming, Environmental factor and Darkness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (55.11%)
  • Salmo (50.00%)
  • Juvenile (32.95%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?

  • Salmo (50.00%)
  • Animal science (55.11%)
  • Smoltification (32.39%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Sigurd O. Stefansson focuses on Salmo, Animal science, Smoltification, photoperiodism and Aquaculture. The concepts of his Salmo study are interwoven with issues in Zoology, Ecology, Salinity, Osmoregulation and Fishery. His Ecology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology, Homeostasis, Neuroplasticity and Toxicity.

Sigurd O. Stefansson combines subjects such as Broodstock, Juvenile, Cyclopterus lumpus, Sexual maturity and Seawater with his study of Animal science. His Smoltification research incorporates themes from Growth hormone receptor, Biochemistry, Immune system, Gill and Gene isoform. His Aquaculture study combines topics in areas such as Feed conversion ratio, Viral shedding and Virology.

Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Molecular cloning and genomic characterization of novel leptin-like genes in salmonids provide new insight into the evolution of the Leptin gene family. (40 citations)
  • Impact of fish density and specific water flow on skin properties in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) post-smolts (28 citations)
  • Stocking density limits for post-smolt Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) emphasis on production performance and welfare (26 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Ecology
  • Genetics

Sigurd O. Stefansson mainly focuses on Salmo, Animal science, Fishery, Seawater and Osmoregulation. His work investigates the relationship between Salmo and topics such as Ecology that intersect with problems in Homeostasis, Toxicity and Neuroplasticity. Sigurd O. Stefansson interconnects Epithelium, Nitric oxide synthase, Salinity, Claudin and Cathepsin B in the investigation of issues within Animal science.

His work carried out in the field of Seawater brings together such families of science as Feed conversion ratio, Stocking, Carbon dioxide and Aquaculture. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sexual maturity, Fish farming and photoperiodism. Sigurd O. Stefansson usually deals with photoperiodism and limits it to topics linked to Younger age and Smoltification.
