Profit and Resource Rent in Fisheries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-19)The difference between the concepts of profit and rent are discussed theoretically and by using aggregated data from the Icelandic and Norwegian fish harvesting industries. The former is a basic indicator for gauging the business performance of firms and industries, and the latter is important for the evaluation of the economic welfare contribution of resources and industries. The importance of ... -
Do the predators of Yamal have a learning effect of artificial nests?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-01)Many artificial nest studies that goes over several years place the nests in the same location each placement. Over the years there is a chance that the predators learn where the nests are placed and that can give skewed results. The goal of my study is to see if the predators learn where the nests are located. This was done over three study sites on the Yamal peninsula. In two of the study sites ... -
eDNA metabarcoding of amoebic gill disease (AGD) pathogens exposes potential vectors and reservoirs
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-31)Aquaculture worldwide is under constant scrutiny and financial pressure to maintain fish health, while providing an essential food source to a growing populace. To assist in monitoring mariculture sites and preventing harmful diseases, we tested a recently proposed method of trace pathogen detection using eDNA metabarcoding. The target pathogen, Paramoeba perurans, is the etiological agent of AGD, ... -
The Demersal Fish Community on the West Spitsbergen Shelf. Biodiversity, species composition, distribution and temporal changes in relation to climate.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-29)This thesis explores a historical time series of trawl stations on the West Spitsbergen Shelf (WSS), aiming to understand the spatial and temporal variability of the demersal fish communities in the region. Abundance data of 42 fish species are used to investigate the species composition, richness, and diversity across six different areas under different environmetal influence. The results indicate ... -
Interannual variability (2014-2019) of hydrography, fluorescence and nutrient distribution in Vestfjorden, Lofoten
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-01)Vestfjorden is an area of great ecological relevance since it is one of the main spawning areas of North East Atlantic cod. The survival rate of the cod larvae depends greatly on the abundance of zooplankton, which in turn depends on phytoplankton. Due to the extreme seasonality of high latitude fjords with a short productive season, understanding the phytoplankton distribution in spring is crucial. ... -
Dietary vs. light stimulated smoltification: effects on smolt development and appetite regulation in pre- and post- smolts
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-22)The transfer of smolt from freshwater (FW) to seawater (SW) is a critical stage in the farming of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) with mortalities of up to 15 % after transfer. One of the reasons for this loss is suboptimal smolt quality. It is therefore important to ensure that the fish are fully SW adapted before transfer to SW. Traditionally, smoltification is stimulated by exposing the fish to a ... -
Analysis of xyloglucan-modifying genes and enzymes at graft-junctions of tomato plants
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-16)Grafting is a widely used technique for propagation of plants in both agriculture and horticulture worldwide and involves combining two or more plants into one chimeric plant, ultimately with a shared vascular system. Benefits of grafting such as pathogen resistance, increase in fruit yield and abiotic stress tolerance have long been known, but the biological mechanisms of how plants graft are still ... -
Risk assessment on the use of triclosan in cosmetics; Development of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria - II. Opinion of the Panel on Biological Hazards Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2007-02)Den Europa kommisjonens vitenskapskomité for forbruksvarer (SCCP) konkluderte 10. oktober 2006 med at det på grunnlag av tilgjengelige data ikke er funnet bevis for at triklosan i kosmetiske produkter kan føre til resistens – eller kryssresistensutvikling hos bakterier. Til tross for at en slik sammenheng kan være sannsynlig, finnes det ikke god dokumentasjon.<p><p> Siden denne konklusjonen ikke ... -
Addressing the aquatic vertebrate community of Vågsfjorden 2019 with the use of Environmental DNA
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)In order to estimate biodiversity or do species counts, detramental techniques such as trawling or longlining have been used. Lately techniques used to monitor, such as baited remote underwater video systems and environmental DNA have been tested as possible methods to investigate species richness and abundance, the latter which will be used in this thesis. Using eDNA methodology, a northern ... -
Genetic population structure of the northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) along the Norwegian coast
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-15)The coastal shrimp (Pandalus borealis) represent an important income for a small-scale fishery. The more economical important fishery of shrimp is located offshore. There is sparse information and literature regarding the coastal shrimp, and it is a lot we do not know about the species that inhabits our coast and fjords. Genetic research will provide more information on the species in these areas. ... -

Frankenstein's Reader as Judge and Confidant
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12)This article examines the tension between two modes of listening presented in <i>Frankenstein</i>. Characters sometimes receive others’ stories as a confidant responsible to the storyteller and sometimes as a judge responsible to a predetermined ethical norm. Drawing on the ideas of Emmanuel Lévinas, the article shows how these two forms of listening correspond to two ethical models – the ethics ... -
Testing a size sorting grid in the brown shrimp (Crangon Crangon Linnaeus, 1758) beam trawl fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-08-12)The North Sea brown shrimp (<i>Crangon crangon</i> Linnaeus, 1758) fishery became Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified in 2017. As part of the certification, the fishermen proposed to incrementally increase the mesh size of the codend used from 22 mm to 26 mm. As this increase in mesh size could result in a substantial loss of marketable sized brown shrimp (shrimp with total length equal or ...
