Effects of replacing fish oil with microalgae biomass (Schizochytrium spp) as a source of n-3 LC-PUFA to Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on growth performance, fillet quality and fatty acid composition
(Master thesis, 2017)Low levels of EFA in fish feed as a result of changes in diet composition brings a need of finding a novel ingredient that will supplement Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) in fish feed. Microalgae have ability of producing ... -
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 ... -
N-3 fatty acids metabolism in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2013-07-08)Background: The main human dietary source for n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) is fish and seafood. In farmed fish, n-3 HUFA content has been reduced because of increased pressure to replace fish oil by vegetable ...
