Chemical characterization of 21 species of marine macroalgae common in Norwegian waters: benefits of and limitations to their potential use in food and feed
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-18)BACKGROUND: In the past few years, much effort has been invested into developing a new blue economy based on harvesting, cultivating and processing marine macroalgae in Norway. Macroalgae have high potential for a wide ... -
Distribution of marine, benthic, shell bearing gastropods along the Norwegian coast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Based on literature data and my extensive material from along the coast, the distribution of shell bearing marine, benthic gastropods known from Norwegian waters, is outlined. The geographic area covered goes down to c. ... -
Feeding response to fish feed diets in Ciona intestinalis; implications for IMTA
(Master thesis, 2016-05-20)Norway is the largest salmon producer in the world. The associated discharge with continued growth from salmon production has vitalised interest in developing integrated multi trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in order to mitigate ... -
Infection dynamics and tissue tropism of Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola (Myxozoa: Myxosporea) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-06)Background The myxosporean parasite Parvicapsula pseudobranchicola commonly infects farmed Atlantic salmon in northern Norway. Heavy infections are associated with pseudobranch lesions, runting and mortality in the salmon ... -
Life after fire: the impact of fire on species composition and diversity in coastal heathlands
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-09-11)Fire prone coastal heathlands are widespread, and range from naturally fire prone Mediterranean-type heathlands, to the anthropogenic heathlands of north-west Europe. Regardless of its source, fire is an important disturbance ... -
Natural and cultural heritage in mountain landscapes: towards an integrated valuation
