Assessing the Effects of the New Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Genome Assembly on Imputation Accuracy
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)The Atlantic salmon is one of the most economically important species in modern-day aquaculture. For this reason, a lot of effort has been put into implementation and improvement of breeding programs for this species, ... -
Derivation of economic values for important production traits in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2020)Atlantic salmon breeding programs selected several traits simultaneously. Lack of economic values may lead to inappropriate relative weighting of the traits selected for and with a suboptimal long-term genetic gain of the ... -
Development of lentiviral technology for use in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Lentiviral vectors are used to deliver and stably integrate genetic material into the genome of cells. When combined with CRISPR based gene editing technology, targeted editing of one or many host genes in a pooled format ... -
The effect of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae fractions in diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on extruder parameters, pellet quality, growth performance and nutrient utilization
(Master thesis, 2021)This study focused on the effects of dietary inclusion of black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) fractions on extruder parameters, pellet quality, growth performance and nutrient digestibility and utilization in ... -
Fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as affected by dietary and environmental treatments
(Master thesis, 2020)Fillet quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) is crucial for both salmon producers and consumers. There are endogenous and exogenous factors that affect fillet quality. This thesis mainly focuses on exogenous factors: ... -
Functional interrogation of the elovl5 gene regulation in Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2022)Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) and cholesterol are important for different physiological pathways including immunology. As these cannot be synthesized in the teleosts including Salmon itself, food supplement ... -
In vivo and in vitro study of dark pigment development in Atlantic salmon using novel methods based on image analysis
(Master thesis, 2018)The appearance of skin and fillet muscle of Atlantic salmon, are the most important quality parameters for consumers. Salmon skin with pearl-shiny, bluish appearance is associated with high quality and freshness while a ... -
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 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, ... -
Quality of raw and cooked fillets of Atlantic salmon farmed in the Arctic : effect of dietary oil and thawing temperature
(Master thesis, 2020)The fatty acid content in fillets of Atlantic salmon cultured in the Arctic and fed diets containing varying levels of EPA and DHA (low, medium or high) was assessed. Also, dietary effects on fillet color and liquid holding ... -
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 ...
