Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This study is based on re-analysis of data sets generated in previous studies, and no additional sampling or genetical analysis except for verification purposes was undertaken. Therefore, no ethics approval was needed specifically for this study. The original studies generating the data sets this study is based upon, conducted the sampling with permits for sample collection issued by the Federal Agency for Fisheries (Russia, and County Governors of Finnmark, Troms, Nordland, Nord-Trøndelag, Sør-Trøndelag, Møre og Romsdal, Sogn og Fjordane, Hordaland, Rogaland and Vest-Agder (Norway). As the fish were sacrificed immediately before sampling and no experiments with living fish were performed the approval of an ethics committee was not required (EU directive 2010/63/EU, Russian Federation government regulation 2009/921, Norwegian Animal Welfare Act 19/06/2009).
