The relevancy of stakeholder engagement in aiding the sustainable shift : an investigation through the eyes of farmers
(Master thesis, 2021)With growing awareness of the agricultural industry’s struggle to internalise and implement the sustainability shift, new methods for aiding the shift are being sought. As a growing number of findings can connect with ... -
Remodelling of H3K4me3 histone tail modifications across life stages in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Atlantic salmon undergo a series of preparatory adaptation for a life in the sea, referred to as smoltification. Recent studies have focused on the genetic base of this process and revealed genome-wide transcriptional ... -
Removal of three proteinaceous antinutrients from a soybean cultivar and effects of inclusion in diets processed at two heat levels on nutritional value and gut health for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L)
(Master thesis, 2018)The worldwide, rapid grow of the aquaculture industry is imposing an increasing demand for ingredient feed resources for aquafeeds. Plant-derived ingredients like full fat soybean meal have been widely investigated in ... -
Renhetsbedømmelse i binger til gris
(Master thesis, 2011-08-25)I binger til gris kan det være en utfordring å holde det faste gulvet ved en akseptabel renhetlig hygiene. I svineproduksjon er arbeidsinnsatsen brukt til rengjøring den som tar utelukkende mest tid. Ved å prøve å forstå ... -
Repeatability of fin length measurements using digital image analysis, and studies of fin morphology and erosion as indicator of social interactions of cod
(Master thesis, 2012-09-20)Fin damage, commonly termed as fin erosion, has been paid considerable attention as a worldwide welfare issue especially in cannibalistic fish species. As cannibalistic fish, Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) has been showed to ... -
Reproductive and Genetic Studies in Large Yellow Croaker
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-15)Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is distributed in the coastal regions of East Asia and is one of the most important marine aquaculture species in China. However, due to overfishing, it has been difficult to ... -
Resistance studies and genetic characterization of the barley : Pyrenophora teres pathosystem
(PhD Thesis;2017:52, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Net blotch is a major barley disease in Norway caused by the necrotrophic fungus Pyrenophora teres, which can cause yield losses of up to 40% under conducive conditions. Two forms of this pathogen, P. teres f. teres (Ptt) ... -
Resistance to Septoria nodorum leaf blotch and the importance of sensitivity to necrotrophic effectors in Norwegian spring wheat
(PhD Thesis;2017:63, Doctoral thesis, 2017)Wheat is one of the most important food crops worldwide. In normal years, the proportion of food quality wheat grown in Norway exceeds 50 %. However, the quality and yield can be significantly challenged by unfavorable ... -
Responses to mirrors in domestic goats (Capra aegagrus hircus) : assessing mirror use to solve a problem and in self-recognition
(Master thesis, 2016-08-18)Mirror studies in animals have been used to test for self-recognition and instrumental use of the mirror as a tool to find an object hidden from view but visible via mirror-reflection. These abilities have been indicated ... -
Restoration and management plan of Tananger coastal heathland
(Master thesis, 2016-08-11)Coastal heathland development started about 5000 years ago, as a result of humans cutting trees and burning along the coast. Traditionally, coastal heathlands have been composed of a mosaic containing different habitats ... -
Restoring Myanmar’s mangrove forests and coastal communities’ socioeconomic stability with community based mangrove management
(Master thesis, 2016-08-12)Mangrove forests have a significant capacity to provide ecosystem services. However, deforestation from land use changes has led to widespread degradation of these services and consequently jeopardizes coastal populations. ... -
