The influence of re-establishing Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) on the activity of invasive American mink (Neovison vison) on the southwest coast of Norway
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Invasive species are one of the most impactful sources of biodiversity loss worldwide. Generalist predators may be especially damaging, as they can reduce survival and fecundity in native species and can compete with native ... -
Diet variation in Barents Sea haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus)
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Diet composition and feeding are crucial for assessing fish species ecological role, population dynamics, and overall ecosystem health. It provides insights into fish’s functional role within the food web, and it contributes ... -
Tolerance limits to fluctuating water currents in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): A novel method to simulate the impact of ocean waves on salmon welfare in the laboratory
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)The Norwegian aquaculture industry aims to expand the production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) to offshore locations where the fish will be experiencing more extreme weather conditions compared to traditional sheltered ... -
Improved stock estimation for Iceland scallops (Chlamys islandica) in the Svalbard area
(Master thesis, 2023-06-03)Iceland scallops (Chlamys islandica) were commercially harvested in the Svalbard fishery protection zone (FPZ) from 1986 to 1992, when the fishery ended due to overfishing. After approximately 30 years of prohibition, a ... -

Studies of granulocyte colony stimulating factor signaling to develop tools for clinical assessments of severe congenital neutropenia
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Neutropenia is condition characterized by low number of neutrophils in circulation. This leads to an increased risk of infections and is often diagnosed early in life. Extreme cases are known as severe neutropenia and are ... -
Vurderingspreferanser hos studenter i høyere utdanning
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)I denne studien belyses vurderingspreferansene til kvinnelige, nye og førstegenerasjons-studenter, da forskning viser at de forlater STEM i større grad enn andre studenter. En av pådriverne er «high stakes» vurderinger, ... -
Effekt av termisk avlusning på gjellehelse hos atlantisk laks (Salmo salar) holdt i nedkjølt ferskvann
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Gjelleproblematikk er en stor utfordring i norsk lakseoppdrett, og årsakene er ofte multifaktorielle. En del av problematikken omfatter ivaretakelse av gjellehelsen under ulike mekaniske avlusningsmetoder. Termiske avlusninger ... -
Exploring hnf1ba knockout zebrafish mutant as a model for studying MODY5 disease mechanisms in early pancreas development
(Master thesis, 2023-06-02)Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes, characterised by pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction, early onset (before around 25 years of age), and autosomal dominant inheritance. Heterozygous ... -
