Stunting : a physiological and molecular characterization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) with reduced growth in the sea cages
(Master thesis, 2021)Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar) has become the dominating fish species in Norwegian aquaculture industry. Having an anadromous life cycle, salmon spend the first part of their lifecycle in freshwater, then migrates to the ... -
Acute and genomic effects of Thyroid Hormones on the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) heart
(Master thesis, 2022)Farmed salmon suffer from a variety of heart pathologies that impair cardiac function and ultimately contribute to cardiac failure and mortality. Thyroid hormones (TH) have well-studied cardioprotective effects in mammals, ... -
Methods to study fusion activation of infectious salmon anaemia virus
(Master thesis, 2022)Infectious salmon anaemia (ISA) is a serious viral disease caused by virulent ISA virus (ISAV). ISA is considered to be an important threat to Norwegian salmon farming. It is a widely held view that new virulent ISAV ... -
Parasite induced changes in neuronal activity : is the parasitic eye-fluke (Diplostomum spp.) manipulating its Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) host?
(Master thesis, 2022)Many parasites possess complex lifecycles and depend on several host species to complete their lifecycle. Some parasites even manipulate their hosts phenotype in a way that facilitates trophic transmission to their final ... -
When methods matter : disagreement between multiplex qPCR and metagenomic shotgun sequencing in defining the resistome of canine fecal samples
(Master thesis, 2022)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat to humans and animals. It is of great importance to study and monitor the spread of AMR. This thesis intends to characterize the resistome in 35 canine fecal samples ... -
Sequence Analysis and In Vitro Genome Editing of Atlantic salmon MHC-I-F10 Gene in Atlantic salmon Macrophage Cell line TO Cell
(Master thesis, 2022)During the past few decades, the aquaculture industry has contributed immensely to food security in the face of the continuous growth in the global human population—and farming of Atlantic salmon has significantly contributed ... -
Characterization of humoral immune response to pancreas disease virus (SAV-3) following immunization with whole inactivated virus vaccines and DNA vaccines
(Master thesis, 2022)ABSTRACT Salmonid alphavirus type-3 (SAV-3) is the causative agent of pancreas disease (PD) in Atlantic salmon. It is associated with significant economic losses to the aquaculture industry. Vaccines can overcome losses ... -
Feeding routines and prevalence of overweight horses in Norway
(Master thesis, 2023)Background: Over the latest years feeding recommendations for horses have changed continuously. The minimum recommendations for forage intake have increased, and ad libitum feeding is encouraged to ensure welfare and health ... -
Carcinogenic potential of processed meat and plant-based meat alternatives in the A/J Min/+ mice model (Mus musculus).
(Master thesis, 2023)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers both worldwide, and in Norway, with high mortality rates. The risk of developing CRC has been associated with diet and lifestyle, where, according to IARC, red and ... -
Studying effects of light pollution and aquacultural light regimes using the teleost model medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(Master thesis, 2023)Light is the main cue in synchronizing daily circadian rhythm in most animals, in addition to synchronizing the perception of the year for some species. Due to the steady increase of light pollution around the world, and ... -
Diagnostiske verktøy for måling av cytokiner hos rein (Rangifer tarandus tarandus)
(Master thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn for studien: Det finnes i dag ingen kommersielle metoder for deteksjon av cytokiner hos rein (Rangifer tarandus tarandus). Økt smittepress i forbindelse med at tamreinen oftere fôres og holdes i gjerde, har medført ... -
Optimization of siRNA and mRNA transfection in Atlantic salmon erythrocytes as an approach for studying antiviral responses
(Master thesis, 2024)Atlantic salmon have nucleated erythrocytes (Red blood cells, RBCs), possessing not only respiratory function, but also some immune functions. Piscine orthoreovirus-1 (PRV-1) is a dsRNA virus that infects A. salmon RBCs ... -
From Green to Serene: Investigating the Effects of Algal and Light Conditions on Stress Levels and Welfare in Fish
(Master thesis, 2024)The increasing use of fish in laboratory research and aquaculture threatens fish welfare. Thus, environmental enrichment strategies have gained increasing attention to promote the well-being of captive fish. This study ... -
Exploring bovine enteroids as an in vitro infection model for Cryptosporidium parvum
(Master thesis, 2024)Cryptosporidium spp. er en apikompleks verdensomspennende endoparasitt med et bredt vertspekter. Den gir cryptosporidiosis, en gastrointestinal sykdom som særlig nyfødte og unge virveldyr er sårbare for og den kan utgjøre ... -
The Effect of Different Culture Conditions on The Cytotoxic Effect of Natural Killer Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles on Cancer Cells
(Master thesis, 2024)Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells that can kill cancer cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from NK cells have been shown to induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in some cancer cell lines. NK-EVs may ... -
Development of transgenic lines to study pituitary cell development and plasticity in medaka (Oryzias latipes)
(Master thesis, 2024)The reproductive system is an important process highly regulated by hormones produced by the pituitary gland, including the thyroid-stimulating hormone (Tsh) and the folliclestimulating hormone (Fsh). The pituitary is a ... -
Investigating the Role of Inflammatory Markers in Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancer Development Using the AOM/DSS Mouse Model
(Master thesis, 2024)Background: Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The AOM/DSS murine model, which closely mimics the development of human CAC, was employed to induce ... -
