How long a tourist stays in a host country acts as an indicator of tourism industry’s contribution towards the national economy. The purpose of this study is to examine how socio-demographic characteristics of international tourists, their travelling purpose, tourism products and characteristics of the destination influence the length of stay in Norway, by estimating a parametric survival model. ...

The determination of post mortem muscle pH are often carried out in studies on how pre-slaughter handling influences the development of rigor mortis and the quality of the fish products. The analysis might be performed by inserting a pH-electrode into the intact flesh or using a suspension containing a minced muscle sample. Although it has been known for a long time that mincing muscle tissue ...

In Kenya, there is a growing demand for fish food, due to rapid population growth and dwindling fisheries. Aquaculture has been revived, and is now the fastest growing food-producing sector in the country. However, this development has happened in an unprecedented speed whereas the issue with sustainability emerges. The main driver for this growth is by government intervention, heavily involved in ...

<b>Background:</b> It is now increasingly recognized that the beneficial effects of seafood consumption is not limited to lipids and fatty acid, but that the protein part, i.e., peptides and amino acids, together with vitamins and even unknown bioactive constituents also are important for disease prevention. This study was designed to evaluate the putative anti-atherogenic effects of different ...

Spring viremia of carp virus (SVCV) can cause high mortality of fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GCC-3 exopolysaccharides (GCC-3 EPS) on zebrafish (Danio rerio) infected with SVCV and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Zebrafish were fed with a control diet or diet supplemented with 0.5% and 1% of GCC-3 EPS for 2 weeks. The results showed ...

Dette studiet undersøker diett og posisjoner i næringsnettet til de seks torskefiskene, torsk (Gadus morhua), hyse (Melanogrammus aeglefinus), hvitting (Merlangius merlangus), kolmule (Micromesistius poutassou), øyepål (Trisopterus esmarkii) og sølvtorsk (Gadiculus argenteus thori) i Ullsfjord. Innsamling av prøver ble gjort med bunntrål ved de fem lokalitetene, Arnøy, Eidstranddjupet, Lattervik, ...

Sammendrag Norsk pelagisk industri kjennetegnes ved relativt lav lønnsomhet, store sesongvariasjoner og produksjon av store volum på kort tid. Dette innebærer at aktørene i pelagisk industri har hatt fokus på å produsere store volum hvor formålet har vært å skape verdiene gjennom effektivitet, lave produksjonskostnader og store mengder produsert råstoff. Oppgaven har derfor valgt å undersøke hvordan ...

To make good decisions, employees must manage their own intuitions and be able to anticipate decision-making in their work environment. How well this is accomplished has significant consequences for the workplace. A closer examination indicates that individuals utilize various types of intuition. People’s work context is frequently omitted from studies on the use of intuition, resulting in a ...

Dehydroalanine (Dha) and dehydrobutyrine (Dhb) display considerable flexibility in a variety of chemical and biological reactions. Natural products containing Dha and/or Dhb residues are often found to display diverse biological activities. While the (Z) geometry is predominant in nature, only a handful of metabolites containing (E)‐Dhb have been found thus far. Here we report discovery of a new ...
