Norwegian term or phrase: bikker
Vi ser at vi i begge testene over «bikker» verdien under kjøttvekten for fisk på 3,0 og 4,0 kg.

This has to do with models for calculating the value of fish.

the value dips below / the value is pushed below
Explanation:
In the test/experiment referred to in the text, a value "dips below" the 'kjøttvekt' for fish weighing 3.0 and 4.0 kg. You could keep the experimental sense of the Norwegian phrase by using some combination of "the value is/has been pushed below". My understanding of 'bikke' here is something of a nudge, such that the value is reduced a little below the 'kjøttvekt'). A native speaker might want to comment though.

Example sentence(s):
  • For either firm, that will occur at the point that its residual value dips below zero.
  • ... and repeating the analysis until the p value dips below the 0.05 threshold...

  -> Thanks. Good call. I should have added the text might refer to a chart or figure of some kind, in which case the translation should best reflect what is happening on the chart. I somehow imagined a curve or bar dipping below a certain value.
