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 ... -
Functional characterization of N-terminal acetyltransferase 10 (NAA10) variants potentially causing disease
(Master thesis, 2019-12-14)Approximately 80-90 % of all eukaryotic proteins are co- or post-translationally acetylated on their N-terminus by a group of enzymes called N-terminal acetyltransferases (NATs) (Arnesen et al., 2009). To date, eight NATs ... -
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 ... -
Genetisk analyse av Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio ordalii og Vibrio ordalii-lignende isolater isolert fra syk rognkjeks
(Master thesis, 2019-06-22)Vibrio anguillarum og en Vibrio ordalii-lignende bakterie har de siste årene vært et økende problem hos en rekke nyere marine arter det drives oppdrett av i Norge, spesielt rognkjeks. Lite studier er gjort av populasjonsgenetikken ... -
Growth performance and welfare of post-smolt (Salmo salar L.) reared in semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) – a comparative study
(Master thesis, 2020-06-23)The salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice infestations, escapees, diseases and environmental impact. Semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to abate these challenges. In the S-CCS, cultured ... -
H2O2 effects on the potential macroalgal culture species Palmaria palmata (Linnaeus) Weber & Mohr and Ulva lactuca (Linnaeus)
(Master thesis, 2019-06-26)Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been the most used remedy against salmon sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) in Norway since 2013. This remedy has been considered environmentally friendly, because it breaks down to water and ... -
Happy hatchday! How does timing of hatching affect the survival of larval Gadus morhua in a changing environment?
(Master thesis, 2019-06-22)The classical match-mismatch hypothesis proposes that the timing between larval first feeding and food availability is an important driver of year-class strength. With climate change and the warming of the oceans, it is ... -
How will thawing permafrost affect the microbial abundance and diversity in the Arctic?
(Master thesis, 2020-07-09)Permafrost, permanently frozen soil, constitutes a major portion of the Earth’s terrestrial cryosphere and represents a unique niche for cold-adapted microorganisms. As the global temperature increases, it is still unknown ... -
Immunologiske responsar i huda hos sjøaure (Salmo trutta) ved infeksjon av lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) i preadulte stadiet
(Master thesis, 2022-06-01)Sjøaure er den anadrome delen av bestanden til brunaure (Salmo trutta). Arten gyter i elvar og bekkar før den smoltifiserer og vandrar ut i kystvatn for å finne større tilgang til føde og dermed vokse seg større. I kystvatn ... -
Immunrespons hos atlantisk laks (Salmo salar) ved infestasjon av lakselus (Lepeophtheirus salmonis): Endringer i genuttrykk og histologiske forandringer i hud
(Master thesis, 2021-06-01)Sammendrag Lakselus blir ansett som den største utfordringen knyttet til oppdrett i dag. Disse utfordningene kommer i form av redusert fiskehelse, økte produksjonskostnader samt tiltak og lovverk som begrenser vekst for ... -

Infection dynamics of marine Eubothrium sp. (Cestoda) in farmed Atlantic salmon
(Master thesis, 2019-06-21)Infections with marine tapeworms have been reported as an increasing problem in aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in Norway over the last few years. These are caused by the cestode Eubothrium sp. Little is ... -
Influence of temperature and feeding on early sexual maturation commitment in male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, L.) during the freshwater stage
(Master thesis, 2021-01-20)The intensification of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolt production to enhance growth performance has promoted a rise in precocious male maturation rates. Unlike traditional parr maturation, which seems to be highly ... -
Integrated taxonomic revision of Afrotropical Xyleborinus reveals an extraordinary recent radiation on Madagascar
(Master thesis, 2020-06-26)Collection efforts on Madagascar have previously revealed a high species diversity in the Scolytinae genus Xyleborinus Reitter, 1913 compared with the African mainland. This study has produced a well supported phylogeny ... -
