(Master thesis, 2024)The purpose of this investigation was to fulfill the requirements for a master's degree in aquatic food production at the Faculty of Science and Technology at Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). The funding for ... -
Fatty acid composition and gene expression in the third generation of Atlantic salmon families selected for high and low capacity of omega3 fatty acid synthesis
(Master thesis, 2017)The major aim of this thesis was to study offspring (the third generation) of Atlantic salmon selected by high and low EPA and DHA synthesis capacity (according to high and low d6dB expression level in liver) have differences ... -
Fatty acid specificity of skin phospholipid subclasses and the response to dietary reduction of EPA and DHA in Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2016-08-16)Abstract The different phospholipid classes play a critical role in cell membrane structure and function. Skin is the first barrier for the animal body to prevent environmental damage and are in addition to the gills also ... -

(Master thesis, 2014-02-11)The development of a marking technique which could be efficiently used to mass-mark different groups of salmonids, would be a great tool for fisheries and aquaculture management. The present study was conducted in order ... -
Feed intake, milk yield and variation in the reticulo-rumen pH with Norwegian Red dairy cows given access to concentrate feeds differing in the level of local ingredients
(Master thesis, 2023)When trying to achieve a higher degree of self-sufficiency, there is a challenge with the high starch levels in grain and the Norwegian climate, which is not particularly well adapted to the cultivation of oil crops. To ... -
Feed intake, nutrient digestibility, growth performance and general health of piglets fed increasing levels of yeast
(Master thesis, 2017)In Norway, the climatic conditions and limited agricultural area impedes production of protein-rich plant-feedstuff, leading to the current dependency of import of soybeans. Norway has large forest areas, which constitute ... -
Feed quaility for improved survival and robustness of cleaner fish
