Can catch data from small meshed gears in shallow waters be used to estimate recruitment indices of Norwegian coastal cod, Northeast Arctic saithe and pollack along the Norwegian coast?
(Master thesis, 2019-06-21)Shallow waters (<30 meters) are important nursery areas for coastal cod, saithe and pollack, before they recruit to their respective fisheries at an age around 3 years old. Still, no study provides information on fish ... -
Can environmental toxins increase parasite fitness? Ecotoxicological studies on the effects of microcystin on the host-parasite dynamics of Schistocephalus solidus
(Master thesis, 2020-08-21)Background: Eutrophication of aquatic biomes and exacerbated climate change effects are expected to result in a global increase in harmful cyanobacterial blooms. Cyanotoxins are detrimental to animal health, but how they ... -

"A cleaner break" - Genetic analysis identifies two major groups of ballan wrasse (Labrus bergylta) within Scandinavia and evidence of phenotype derived divergence
(Master thesis, 2019-06-21)For a long time, sea lice have represented the major financial and fish welfare challenge of the salmonid farming industry. In the late 1980s, the use of parasite-eating cleaner fish, first and foremost wrasses (family ... -
Co-infection of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by Lepeophtheirus salmonis and Moritella viscosa
(Master thesis, 2019-06-20)A co-infection is defined as an infection with two or more different pathogens, where the pathogens can either have a synergistic or antagonistic effect or alternatively not affect each other at all. Lepeophtheirus salmonis ... -
Community composition, population structure and phylogeny of coastal sympagic meiofauna in eastern Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2019-06-19)Coastal sea ice communities constitute a highly vulnerable yet little investigated part of the Arctic ecosystem. A better understanding of the Arctic sea ice ecosystem will aid in more accurate predictions of the ecological ... -
Comparing density of lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) used in aquaculture to different welfare indicators
(Master thesis, 2021-05-31)Farmed lumpfish are commonly used as cleaner fish in the salmonid aquaculture industry, but a knowledge gap exists with regards to their density. Filling this knowledge gap is of importance, as the lumpfish have no swim ... -
Development and application of novel measures of foregut lamina propria in Atlantic salmon given 5 different diets
(Master thesis, 2021-03-01)The trial was composed of five diets: a fishmeal/fish oil diet, a 20% soybean meal/30% fishmeal & fish oil diet, a fishmeal/rapeseed oil diet, plant protein concentrates/fish oil diet, plant protein ingredients/mix of ... -
