Humorale immunresponser i bukhule og systemiske organer hos Atlantisk laks (Salmo salar L.) – sammenligning av levende og inaktivert salmonid alphavirus 3 administrert i bukhulen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Pankreassykdom (PD) er en sykdom som forårsakes av salmonid alphavirus (SAV) og anses som en av de mest utbredte virussykdommene i dagens oppdrettsnæring. I tillegg til at sykdommen fører til store tap for næringa, utgjør sykdommen også et stort problem sett fra et fiskevelferds-perspektiv. Siden det ikke finnes behandling mot sykdommen ligger fokuset på forebyggende tiltak. Det er utviklet flere ... -
Hav, fisk og ressursforvaltning i nordområdene
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-08)Mesteparten av norske havområder ligger nord for polarsirkelen og er åsted for noen av verdens rikeste fiskerier. De største fiskebestandene er delt med andre land, og internasjonalt samarbeid om ressursforvaltningen er derfor en viktig dimensjon ved nordområdepolitikken. Slikt samarbeid er basert på globale normer om hvordan levende marine ressurser skal forvaltes og deles og foregår på en rekke ... -

Biokjemisk sammensetning og bioaktivitet i enzymatisk hydrolyserte torskehoder
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)I Norge utgjør ikke-smittsomme sykdommer hele 87 % av sykdomsbyrden (FHI, 2018). Hovedårsaken til disse sykdommene er feilernæring (Mozaffarian, 2016). At fisk og sjømat er bra for helsen er godt akseptert, men helsefordelene har i hovedsak vært knyttet til den gunstige fettsyresammensetningen i sjømat. I de senere år har interessen for bioaktive komponenter økt, og marint restråstoff kan være en ... -
Biochemical composition and antioxidant capacity of two sea cucumbers (Cucumaria frondosa and Parastichopus tremulus)
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)Sea cucumber is one of the most expensive seafood products in the world and dried sea cucumbers can be valued at more than USD 300 per kilogram for Astichopus japonicus, which is one of the highest priced species. Both market and consumption are centred in East- Asia. Sea cucumbers are sold in various forms, but the majority are distributed to the ’beche-de-mer’ market (gutted, boiled and dried ... -
Ecological speciation in European whitefish is driven by a large‐gaped predator
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-13)Lake‐dwelling fish that form species pairs/flocks characterized by body size divergence are important model systems for speciation research. Although several sources of divergent selection have been identified in these systems, their importance for driving the speciation process remains elusive. A major problem is that in retrospect, we cannot distinguish selection pressures that initiated divergence ... -

The Transformation of Extralegal Principles into Legal Principles by the International Court of Justice in The Hague: Illustrated by a Peaceful Delimitation of «the Promised Land»
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)Social norms are mixtures of extralegal and legal principles. The International Court of Justice‟ in The Hague‟s (ICJ) adjudication subtracts normative structures from different sources, moral, ethical, religious etc. dogmas amplifying its case law. The failing Israel-Palestine reconciliation that results from “power asymmetries” and “supreme emergency exception”, illustrates how absence of concomitant ... -
Infection and microbial molecular motifs modulate transcription of the interferon-inducible gene ifit5 in a teleost fish
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-21)Interferon-induced proteins with tetratricopeptide repeats (IFITs) are involved in antiviral defense. Members of this protein family contain distinctive multiple structural motifs comprising tetratricopeptides that are tandemly arrayed or dispersed along the polypeptide. IFIT-encoding genes are upregulated by type I interferons (IFNs) and other stimuli. IFIT proteins inhibit virus replication by ... -
Discovery and Biosynthetic Investigation of a New Antibacterial Dehydrated Non‐Ribosomal Tripeptide
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-27)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 ... -
