New activity-based fertility traits for Norwegian Red dairy cattle : definitions, heritabilities and comparison to traditional fertility traits
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this study was to define and calculate heritabilities for new activity-based fertility traits for Norwegian Red (NRF) dairy cattle. The traits were time from calving to first high activity episode (CFHA), first ... -
Non-invasive prediction of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition using Computed Tomography (CT) for the advancement in breeding of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2019)The aim of this thesis was to develop a method for determination of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition in the skeleton of gutted Atlantic salmon using a novel non-invasive method based on computer tomography (CT). ... -
Novel functional feed based on bioactive compounds from spruce tree (Picea abies) and their beneficial health effects on distal intestine of Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Aquaculture is an important industry that has the potential to stimulate economical growth, create jobs and assisting in poverty alleviation. However, the rapid growth and intensification of this sector has raised concerns ... -
Novel functional feeds containing Debaryomyces hansenii or fucoidan improved growth performance and modulated hepatic osmoregulatory, immune and energy responses of Atlantic salmon during seawater transfer
(Master thesis, 2022)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is the most important farmed specie in Norwegian aquaculture industry that undergoes profound physiological and immunological alterations before and after seawater transfer (SWT). At this ... -
Novel functional ingredients containing yeast cell wall components modulate molecular biomarkers in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) when exposed to acute hypoxic stress.
(Master thesis, 2021)Aquaculture is a continuously expanding global industry, however, some of the major problems associated with intensive fish farming are acute and chronic stressful conditions such as handling, sub-optimal nutrition, ... -
Novel welfare determination of farmed Atlantic salmon exposed to different photo period regimes prior to sea transfer using digital phenotyping and machine learning
(Master thesis, 2023)The well-being of fish must be a priority as fish have cognitive abilities and good welfare is a must for optimum production. The purpose of the research was to determine welfare of Atlantic salmon exposed to different ... -
NUTRIENT SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE ON LA REUNION Analysis of the Balance Between Crop Needs and Availability of Residual Fertilizing Materials by Commune
(Master thesis, 2023)NUTRIENT SELF-SUFFICIENCY IN AGRICULTURE ON LA REUNION Analysis of the balance between crop needs and availability of residual fertilizing materials by commune. -
Operational optimization of Biofilm Membrane BioReactor (BMBR) for decentralized wastewater treatment
(Master thesis, 2018)Biofilm Membrane BioReactor (BMBR) is a promising technological combination of moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) with membrane bioreactor (MBR) for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. It has resulted in prominent ... -
Optimization and assessment of Omega-3 fatty acids from high-dimensional spectroscopic data in the Atlantic salmon breeding programs
(Master thesis, 2023)Atlantic salmon is well known as a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids (in particular, ALA, DHA, and EPA), and these fatty acids are heritable, thus, the selection of parents will influence their levels in the offspring. ... -
Optimization of CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing in Human PBMCs
(Master thesis, 2023)Targeted genomic manipulation by the Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) nuclease system has the ability to make precise changes in mammalian genomes. Furthermore, the ... -
Optimization of exogenous gene expression in Atlantic Salmon fibroblast
(Master thesis, 2023)Den atlanterhavslaksen er en stor del av flere økosystemer, inkludert det norske økosystemet, og er avgjørende for norsk økonomi (Aandahl & Hestvik, 2023). For å forstå dens anatomiske mekanismer og potensial for genetisk ... -
Optimization of Greenhouse Waterlogging Tolerance Screening and Low-Cost Seminal Roots Phenotyping Methods for Spring Wheat
(Master thesis, 2023)Abstract Climate change projections predict that precipitation in Norway is likely to increase, and flooding and waterlogging scenarios will likely be more frequent in the future. Wheat is sensitive to waterlogging ... -
Participatory Guarantee System for urban agriculture
(Master thesis, 2020)Following the rapid growth of urban agriculture (UA), research has stressed the need for a methodology to evaluate and valorise sustainability of UA projects. In parallel, the worldwide development of Participatory Guarantee ... -

Perceived drivers of change among mountain farmers and linkages to agroecological resilience in Norway.
(Master thesis, 2023)Using Q-Methodology, the objective of this study was to describe drivers of change processes in Norwegian mountain farming for the region of Valdres, as perceived by farmers themselves. This mixed-methods approach intended ... -
Perceptions of land abandonment in the Swiss Alps and the role of Regional Natural Parks in revitalizing them
(Master thesis, 2023)Agricultural and natural ecosystems are major shapers and products of a landscape; over time, the perception of interactions between the two has evolved significantly. In recent years, there has been a growing recognition ... -
Phenotypic and genotypic charcterization of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota
(Master thesis, 2022)Knowledge of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota falls behind the research done about the human gut microbiome. Creating greater understanding of the bacteria present and their capabilities helps to create a ... -
Phenotypic effects of knocking out the pigmentation related genes, abcg2, bco1, and bco1-like in Atlantic salmon
