Network Analysis of Salmon Lice Infestations and Connectivity Between Farms: Exploring Cluster Isolation in Norwegian Salmon Farming
(Master thesis, 2024-06-26)Salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) are a major constraint to the sustainable growth of the Norwegian salmon farming industry. Salmon farming in open net pens leads to a proliferation and transmission of salmon lice which ... -
Brakkvannstoleranse hos ulike stammer av lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis)
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) er en marin ektoparasitt som lever på laksefisk. Den skaper sykdoms- og velferdsproblemer hos både vill og oppdrettet laksefisk i Norge, og påfører oppdrettsnæringen store økonomiske ... -
Single nucleotide editing at the 11q23.3 adiposity risk locus by the prime editing technique
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Summary Unraveling the mysteries hidden within the small fraction of the genome that makes every human unique, is still ongoing. Most of these genetic variations require interactions with environmental factors to affect ... -
Characteriazation of immunogenic surface proteins of Pasteurella altantica genomvar salmonicida
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Pasteurellosis caused by Pasteurella atlantica genomvar salmonicida has been an emerging disease in Norway since 2018, causing poor fish welfare and mortalities in the fish farming industry. The development of a commercial ... -
Funksjonell analyse av Lepeophtheirus salmonis labial gland apyrase 1 (LsLGAp1) og dets evne til å indusere antistoffrespons i atlantisk laks (Salmo salar) etter DNA-vaksinering
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) er en marin ektoparasitt som beiter på hud, slim og blod hos vill- og oppdrettet laksefisk, og utgjør en av de største hindringene for videre vekst av oppdrettsnæringen. I tillegg til ... -
Immune responses and efficacy mediated by vaccination with a live attenuated vaccine against Piscirickettsia salmonis in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2024-06-03)Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia (SRS), caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis, has plagued Chilean salmonid aquaculture since 1989. The bacterium evades immune responses by hiding in antigen-presenting cells, rendering ... -
