(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-10-20)Aquaculture productions are increasing worldwide and producers are concerned about the welfare of farmed fish. The importance of good welfare cannot be overemphasized throughout the production cycle as each stage has risks and as such must be closely monitored. In this study, a literature review of animal and fish welfare and behaviour was done with special emphasis on the behaviour of Atlantic ... -
Assessing the conditions for compliance in the squid light fisheries in Myeik, Myanmar
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-09-05)Light fishing is one of the most advanced and successful methods in several fisheries worldwide. Light fishing operations in Myanmar involve using light luring methods in inshore and offshore fisheries, especially for catching squids and pelagic fishes in squid seine (stick-held falling net) and purse seine vessels. Technological advancements have led fishers to use more power, light intensity, and ... -
The effect of microplastic on natural transformation and biofilm formation using Acinetobacter baylyi as a model organism
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-15)Microplastic pollution is a big and rapidly increasing environmental problem in the world. Although the direct effects of microplastic pollution are well-studied the indirect effects are hardly investigated, especially in the context of spreading antibiotic resistance genes. Antibiotic resistance is a natural phenomenon, but the misuse and overuse of antibiotics has led to a rapid development and ... -
Effect of omega 3 fatty acid on growth in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-06-15)Background: The effect of diet on fatty acids in Atlantic salmon, particularly omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC PUFA), has been understudied due to lack of marine raw materials (fish meal and fish oil). A variety of ingredients are used as replacements for fish meal for Atlantic salmon. The aim of this systematic literature review (SLR) is examining the effect of omega 3 fatty ... -
Intensjon til netthandel og fysisk handel
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)Koronapandemien førte til at flere konsumenter ble tvunget til å handle klær på nett, når fysiske butikker ble nedstengt. Dette har skapt en permanent effekt hvor man er blitt mer komfortable til å handle klær på nett, selv etter gjenåpning av fysiske butikker. I vår modell har ønsket vi å se på sensorisk stimulering, bekvemmelighet, kostnader og oppfattet risiko, og i hvor stor grad disse påvirker ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-28)In this research, we have, through the case study method, looked at differences in social mechanisms, including relationships, networks, trust, commitment, learning, and knowledge, in addition to firm performance. The differences are looked up against the direct export strategies our case firm Drytech uses, distributor, and direct to-retailer. Further, we have examined the advantages and ... -
First Steps Towards RAT: A Protocol for Documenting Data Use in the Agent-Based Modeling Process
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)While there is a number of frameworks and protocols in Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) that support the documentation of different aspects of a simulation study, it is surprising to find only a small number dealing with the handling of data. Here we present the results of discussions we had on the topic at the Lorentz Center workshop on Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence using Social ... -
Country of ownership influence on brand equity and loyalty
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-31)This study aims to investigate the impact of country of ownership on Norwegian consumers' brand attitudes, perceived quality, brand value, and loyalty. As companies increasingly internationalize, it becomes crucial to examine how this may influence brand equity and identify strategies to mitigate any potential negative effects. This knowledge would be beneficial for both national and international ... -
Ultrasonic imaging as a means of monitoring gonadal development in lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-21)The commercial farming of juvenile lumpfish requires monitoring of gonadal development to achieve synchronized production. Conventional methods such as gonadosomatic index (GSI), sex hormone analyses, gonadal histology, endoscopy, and gene expression analyses are costly, invasive, and often involve sacrificing the fish. We assessed the efficiency of ultrasound as a non-invasive method for monitoring ... -
Long-term herbivore removal experiments reveal how geese and reindeer shape vegetation and ecosystem CO2-fluxes in high-Arctic tundra
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-23)1. Given the current rates of climate change, with associated shifts in herbivore population densities, understanding the role of different herbivores in ecosystem functioning is critical for predicting ecosystem responses. Here, we examined how migratory geese and resident, non-migratory reindeer—two dominating yet functionally contrasting herbivores—control vegetation and ecosystem processes in ... -
Marine Micro- and Macroalgae in the Polar Night
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)Microalgae have unique adaptions including low metabolic activity, utilization of lipid storage, and resting stage formation to survive the Polar Night. Some species are mixotrophic or heterotrophic and do survive periods that are not favorable for photosynthetic (autotrophic) growth, such as the Polar Night. In addi- tion, the autotrophic and mixotrophic species seem to maintain the key components ... -
Trapped in the TAC Machine: Making a Fisheries-Based Indicator System for Coastal Cod in Steigen, Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020)The GAP project is concerned with the lack of stakeholder participation in providing knowledge for management. This creates a legitimacy problem as the fishermen do not get to share the knowledge basis for and justification of management decisions. In addition, fishermen’s experience-based knowledge remains unused. GAP intends to bridge the legitimacy and knowledge gaps, finding practical ways for ... -

Small-Scale Fisheries Governance in Norway: Hierarchy, Institutions and Markets
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-04-29)Small-scale fisheries are highly relevant in Norway. Until 1989, small-scale fisheries were open access and, like other Norwegian fisheries, subsidised; since then they have changed radically. The closure of major fisheries in the early 1990s, following collapses in important stocks and the removal of direct subsidies, has affected fisheries of all sizes. Societal changes have also had an impact on ... -
