Recreational fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna in Norwegian waters : A detailed look at the fishing effort and economic value of this new fishery.
(Master thesis, 2021-09-24)Recreational fishing is a popular hobby and ecosystem service around the world, yet the impact of recreational fishing on both fish populations and local economies is often overlooked. This thesis will look at the fishing ... -
Gene-editing of the monogenic diabetes associated gene hnf1ba to model multisystemic MODY5 disease mechanisms in zebrafish (DR)
(Master thesis, 2021-12-03)Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance, non-obesity, and early-onset diabetes due to reduced pancreatic beta-cell secretion. Precision ... -
Mapping the amino acid composition of the peripheral membrane binding interface of PH domains
(Master thesis, 2021-11-24)Biological membranes are important in the organization of cells, and the main components of membranes are different kinds of lipids. Peripheral proteins are soluble and interact transiently and bind reversibly to lipids ... -
Kleptoparasitic relationships between common eiders (Somateria mollissima) and large gulls in Solheimsviken, Bergen
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Kleptoparasitism is defined as the theft of procured resources from another individual and is common in many species, especially so in birds. This kind of interaction is well documented between common eiders and gulls. ... -
Functional assessment of 3'UTR regulatory elements using the zebrafish (Danio rerio) model system - towards modulating protein levels in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) for more sustainable aquaculture
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Post-transcriptional regulation is a complex process that encompasses a myriad of different structures and mechanisms. There are several indications that regulatory elements in the 3'UTR play an important role in the ... -
Interaksjoner mellom marine næringsstoffer og dioksiner hos mus med human AhR
(Master thesis, 2021-11-22)Dioksiner og dioksinlignende PCB er en gruppe kjemiske forbindelser dannet via industrielle prosesser, som grunnet høy persistens vil akkumulere i fettvev hos mennesker og dyr. Fet fisk regnes som den største kilden til ... -

Temperature-dependent development of embryonic, planktonic, and parasitic stages of the sea lice Caligus elongatus
(Master thesis, 2021-09-11) -
Trophic structure of mesopelagic species in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean based on stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen
(Master thesis, 2021-09-03)The mesopelagic zone is one of the largest, yet among the least explored habitats of the planet. Possible estimates of fish living in this zone range from around 1 to 15 billon tones of biomass which is 10 to 15 times that ... -
Effect of different arachidonic acid levels in broodstock diet on egg quality of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta)
(Master thesis, 2021-07-31)The production of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) is growing and is becoming a focus area for the aquaculture industry. As a result of rising louse numbers and problems with resistance, biological methods such as cleaner ... -
A Field Study on the Effects of Norwegian Aquaculture Farms on the Intertidal Rocky Shore Community
(Master thesis, 2021-09-13)The aquaculture industry has more than doubled since the early 2000s, and the growth is not predicted to stagnate any time soon. Norwegian salmonid aquaculture cages are usually open where waste is flushed from the cage ... -
The Potential of Small Fish to Alleviate Micronutrient Deficiencies. A Case Study of Ghana.
(Master thesis, 2021-08-02)Abstract Micronutrient deficiency also referred to as “hidden hunger” is one of the prevalent forms of malnutrition with about 340 million children deficient in essential vitamins and minerals globally (FAO, 2020). Fish ... -
Ecological Consequences of Ash Dieback in Western Norway

USING LIGAND-ACTIVATED RECEPTORS FROM ATLANIC COD (Gadus morhua) AND ZEBRAFISH (Danio rerio) TO ASSESS BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF PHARMACEUTICALS IN WASTEWATER IN BERGEN, NORWAY
(Master thesis, 2021-09-01)Pharmaceuticals and personal care products are continuously released into the marine environment through wastewater. Understanding the possible biological implications of pharmaceuticals specifically may be particularly ... -
Nest predation, reproductive investment, and environmental variability in Atlantic puffin (Fratercula arctica)
(Master thesis, 2021-06-30)For many species of birds, nest predation is one of the leading causes of reproductive failure. This has been especially apparent in island nesting seabirds, which have experienced rapid declines due to the introduction ... -
Effects of vgll3 on maturation and its interaction with salinity in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, L)
(Master thesis, 2021-06-17)New emerging strategies in the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), for instance post-smolt and big smolt in land-based facilities experience maturation. High production rates, such as 24 hours photoperiods and ...
