Acoustic attenuation by air bubble in bad weather conditions; a comparison of hull- and keel-mounted transducers
(The University of Bergen, 2009-08-25)Echo integration in bad weather conditions is problematic due to vessel- and wind-induced air bubble layer that is formed below the hull of a vessel, where acoustic transducers are mounted. The bubbles below the hull ...Master thesis -
Adaptation of unbiased stereological methods to study theeffects of feed composition on the morphometrics of the different layers of the digestive tract of juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.)
(The University of Bergen, 2004)Juveniles of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) were fed food, containing different compositions of macro-nutrients (proteins, fat and carbohydrates). The aims of this study were to evaluate the use of unbiased stereology to ...Master thesis -
Adaptive Humoral Immune Response in Lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus L.
(The University of Bergen, 2015-10-05)The lumpfish, Cyclopterus lumpus L. is an emerging and most promising aquaculture fish currently used for a biological control against sea lice in salmonids. However, the lumpfish is prone to a number of bacterial diseases ...Master thesis -
Advances in herring biology: from simple to complex, coping with plasticity and adaptability
(Oxford Journals, 2009)At least two centuries of investigations on herring have been absorbed by scientific journals, and applied and fundamental research has produced groundbreaking concepts in fisheries, population biology, and marine ecology. ...Journal articlePeer reviewed -
Age and growth determination and stock identification using statolith microstructure of Indian squid, Loligo duvauceli
(The University of Bergen, 2010-05-29)Age and growth and stock identification of Indian squid, Loligo duvauceli were examined by statolith microstructure and morphological measurements. The Indian squid were sampled from the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman ...Master thesis -
Age determination of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) - Size at age and regional growth differences along the coast of Norway
(The University of Bergen, 2011-05-25)The traditional method for estimating age of Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) is through surface readings. Previous studies have not been compared to find the best practice for surface reading techniques. Based ...Master thesis -
Anaesthesia of farmed fish with special empasis on atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and atlantic habibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus)
(The University of Bergen, 2011-03-23)During the life cycle as farmed animals there are numerous situations where fish are subjected to handling and confinement. Netting, weighing, sorting, vaccination, transport and, at the end, slaughter are common events ...Doctoral thesis -
