Filamentous fungi (Paecilomyces variotii) as an alternative sustainable ingredient in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) : effects on pellet quality, growth performance, nutrient digestibility and utilization, and immune-related biomarkers in the distal intestine during the freshwater phase.
(Master thesis, 2023)Filamentous fungi (FF) are promising microbial ingredients (MI) for use in aquaculture feeds due to their high protein content and bioactive components with potential health beneficial effects. This study aimed to assess ... -
Imputation to and use of whole genome sequencing for fine mapping and genomic predication in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2023)Sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) infestation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a significant challenge facing the Aquaculture industry. This parasite is known to be resistant to chemical control. Previous research that ... -
Impact of method choice on inbreeding coefficient estimation : a study of inbreeding in five beef cattle breeds in Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)In 2020 was genotyping implemented into the populations of Norwegian beef cattle breeds of Hereford, Charolais, Aberdeen Angus, Limousin and Simmental. This development provides an opportunity to estimate genomic inbreeding ... -
Effect of Red to Far-red ratio on assimilation, growth, and morphology of two cucumber cultivars (Cucumis sativus cv. Hi Light and Imea)
(Master thesis, 2023)The effect of different red to far-red (R:FR) ratios were studied on two cucumber cultivars; 'Hi Light' and 'Imea'. Observations were done on photosynthetic efficiency, morphological characteristics, growth and carbohydrate ... -
Effects of environmental enrichment on social cohesion, aggressive behavior and telencephalon cell proliferation in Atlantic salmon parr
(Master thesis, 2023)Much is known about the life cycle and growth of the Atlantic salmon, but there has been less focus on the behaviour and neurobiology of these animals in captivity and how they interact with each other and their environment. ... -
Behaviour of animals in a mixedspecies African savannah zoo exhibit related to expansion of the enclosure, visitor numbers and weather effects
(Master thesis, 2023)Animal welfare in zoos has been in focus lately, especially in relation to visitor effects. Visitors have been observed to have either a positive, neutral, or negative effect on zoo animals, and studies have shown that ... -
CRISPR/dCas9 Knock-down and CRISPR/Cas9 Knock-out of lxr in Atlantic salmon SHK-1 cells
(Master thesis, 2023)Understanding the genetics of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is crucial for gaining insight into this commercially important species. The sustainable development of aquaculture requires increasing levels of plant-based ... -
Matsikkerhet og urbant landbruk : hvordan kan privat, småskala, ikke- kommersiell dyrking i byen bidra til økt selvforsyning?
(Master thesis, 2023)Økende usikkerhet for fremtiden er grunnen til at matsikkerhet har fått større plass på den politiske dagsorden i Norge (Dombu et al., 2021). Klimaendringer og covid-19-pandemien har ført til økt oppmerksomhet rundt ... -
Genetic and molecular basis of calcium influence on the production of carotenoids in Mucor circinelloides
(Master thesis, 2023)Karotenoider er høyt verdsatte metabolitter, på grunn av deres mangfoldige, kommersielle bruksområder i mat, fôr og kosmetisk industri. Spesielt karotenoider produsert av sopp er av bioteknologisk interesse på grunn av ... -
Mennesker som miljøberikelser for europeisk oter (Lutra lutra) i fangenskap
