The effect of high and low particle load on smoltification of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) in RAS
(Master thesis, 2023)This study explores the effect of high and low Total Suspended Solids (TSS) on smoltification, and ion regulation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) reared in a Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). As the salmon aquaculture ... -
Adferd som stressmål: Atlantisk laks under fluktuerende temperaturregime.
(Master thesis, 2013-07-09)SAMMENDRAG Stressresponser hos fisk blir tradisjonelt målt med parametre som kortisolkonsentrasjon og fôrkonsum som gir mål på stress og velferd. Det man mangler er gode mål på subtile stressreaksjoner og kunnskap om hvordan ... -
