Understanding melanin-based visual signalling in Atlantic salmon: A multi-disciplinary exercise

Fargetegninger i form av svarte prikker eller striper kan både signalisere dominans og gi kamuflasje i naturen, og er utbredt hos en rekke pattedyr, fugler, og fisk. Dette prosjektet handler om de karakteristiske svarte prikkene i den ellers blanke huden på laks. Prikkene består av fargestoffet m...

BIA-Brukerstyrt innovasjonsarena

Produksjonsprosess for artsselektivt agn som forhindrer bifangst av truede arter av hai innen kommersielt line- og teinefiske

Det agn som i dag brukes til line- og teinefiske tiltrekker seg også fredede/truede arter av hai. Preliminære studier på kystnært teinefiske etter krepsdyr har vist at pilotagn fra Ecobait IKKE har denne egenskapen. Prosjektet vil verifisere at aktuelle agnformuleringer fra Ecobait for storskala ...

Gut microbiota in Atlantic salmon: Role for production biology

Farmed salmon have experienced rapid domestication and face extraordinarily intensive production environments. Salmon still occasionally show unacceptably high mortality rates during the seawater production phase, with sudden stress-related mortalities in large preharvest fish being an increasing...

FRIMEDBIO-Fri prosj.st. med.,helse,biol

Parasites and host behaviour: Co-evolution from genotype to phenotype

Parasitter kan endre atferden til organismene de lever i eller på. Endringene skjer ofte på en slik måte at parasitten ser ut til å tjene på det, typisk ved at de spres til nye vertsdyr eller nye miljøer. Slik manipulasjon av vertsdyrene forekommer for eksempel ved at dyr mister sin naturlige sky...

Parasite control of host behaviour: Revealing a neurobiological mechanism for active manipulation

Parasittiske dyr lever i eller på andre organismer og får hele sitt energi- og næringsbehov dekt fra vertsdyrene. Parasitter viser ofte fascinerende spesialisering for å kunne overleve i nær kontakt med andre arters fysiologi og immunforsvar. Mange parasitter påvirker også vertsdyrenes atferd. E...

BIOTEK2021-Bioteknologi for verdiskaping

Bioprospecting opportunities at the interface between host and parasite genomes

Many species of parasites have evolved mechanisms to manipulate the physiology and behaviour of their hosts. Such effects include shifting energy flow within the host towards producing parasite biomass in stead of gonads (host castrators), or induce behav ioral patterns rendering the host more li...

Heritable variation in melanin-based pigmentation and resistance to salmon lice in Atlantic salmon

Intensive aquaculture of salmonid fish is a relatively new innovation, compared to the cultivation of other animals. The process of domestication has only just begun in these fish, and breeding programs have been essential to the expansion of the aquacult ure industry. Presently, disease and ecto...

Guest researcher: Behavioral syndromes in salmonid fish-Ecological and evolutionary implications

The project concerns a guest researcher that will add valued competence to an already running NFR financed research project. the candidate, working at the level of a psot-doctoral fellow, will in turn receive valuable training in behavioral analysis and m olecular biology. Scientifically, the pro...

Selection for reduced stress responsiveness in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Role for animal welfare and sustainability in aquaculture

We recently examined individual variation in the effect of stress on feed intake in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after stress, and observed strong correlations between feeding in a novel environment and other behavioral and physiological traits. Fo r instance, fishes that quickly resumed f...

Cognitive and neuroendocrine correlates of stress coping style in fish

Stress and neurogenesis in rainbow trout

It is currently agreed that new neurons are added to continually growing structures and replace old and dying brain cells in adults of all major vertebrate taxa, a process known as neurogenesis. These structural processes may be highly important for behav iour, mood, and cognition in both animals...
