Wild haddock (<i>Melanogrammus aeglefinus</i>) of commercial size (0.8–2.49 kg, 45–60 cm) were swum to exhaustion in a large swim tunnel and then allowed to recuperate for 0, 3 or 6 h, to investigate the effects of exhaustive swimming on blood glucose, blood lactate and post mortem development of fillet quality. There was a positive linear relationship between critical (aerobic) swimming speed ...

Acremonium is acknowledged as a highly ubiquitous genus including saprobic, parasitic, or endophytic fungi that inhabit a variety of environments. Species of this genus are extensively exploited in industrial, commercial, pharmaceutical, and biocontrol applications, and proved to be a rich source of novel and bioactive secondary metabolites. Acremonium has been recognised as a taxonomically difficult ...

Marine microplastics generated by wear and tear of bottom trawls and demersal seines during their service life is a growing environmental concern that requires immediate attention. In Norway, these fishing gears account for more than 70 % of the landings of demersal fish species, but they are also the leading sources of microplastics generated by fisheries. Because these two fishing gears are widely ...

This is the second report from the project “Impacts of the legal framework on the aquaculture industry – simplification of regulations”, funded by The Norwegian Seafood Research Fund (FHF). The project is designed to investigate how scientific knowledge and political objectives have shaped the design and implementation of the legal framework, and to suggest possible improvements and simplifications ...

For almost 30 years, the Sami Parliament has worked to gain influence in the Norwegian fisheries governing system in order to secure Sami fisheries as the material basis of Sami culture. Due to developments in international law and their implementation in state law, the Sami Parliament has gained formal access to the country’s fisheries governance decision-making process. This paper addresses the ...

Hensikten med denne oppgaven var å lage og evaluere et system for å isolere og identifisere proteaser som er involvert i å modne marine antimikrobielle peptider (AMPer). Bioaktive substanser fra marine organismer er lovende for utvikling av terapeutiske midler. Siden marine organismer lever tett på mengder av patogene mikroorganismer, har de utviklet et robust og effektivt immunsystem, der iblant ...

I utgangspunktet skulle denne oppgaven belyse rekruttering av ledere og hvordan lederstiler og personlighetstrekk er en del av beslutnings grunnlaget for det endelige valget av leder. Ved å informere fire informanter var håpet det at det skulle komme nok informasjon som kunne ligge til grunn for en diskusjon og en refleksjon i forhold til hvilke lederstiler og personlighetstyper blir benyttet eller ...

The first aim of the present study was to evaluate the bioavailability of ibuprofen dispersed in a novel soft chewable formulation compared with a traditional ibuprofen tablet; its second was to map the quality of taste masking and patient product satisfaction. In a phase 1, single-center, open-label, randomized, crossover study, healthy subjects received a softchew formulation or a hard tablet ...

Over the years, 19 students from Ghana have graduated from the International Fisheries Management Programme (IFM) at the Norwegian College of Fishery Science (NCFS) at the University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway. In addition, three other students from Ghana are in their first and second year of the programme now. These students are trained and supervised by professors with broad ...
