A survey of consumer behavior in the local market for tilapia and fish in general was ...
    • Natural transformation in Streptococcus gordonii biofilm 

      Rahman, Fatema (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-06-01)
      Natural transformation is one of the three mechanisms of horizontal gene transfer by which bacteria are able to take up free DNA from the surrounding environment. In natural ecosystems, bacteria preferentially attach to surfaces, forming matrix-enclosed communities known as biofilm. Biofilm cells differ phenotypically and physiologically from their free-floating counterparts. Objective: To estimate ...

    • Classification of artisanal fisheries métiers in Ghana : a case study of the Central region 

      Bampoe, Audrey Anima (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-05-15)
      The management of multi-species fisheries is usually challenging because of the high number of fleets and gears targeting numerous species. In recent times, the concept of metiers has been used to enable further understanding of spatio-temporal variation of species and behaviour of fishers. In the present study, an output-based approach (i.e. the use of landing data) was used to identify potential ...
