HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Neuroendocrine and environmental control of puberty in fish

Early sexual maturation leads to a significant loss of body weight during the spawning season, and farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) of both sexes currently reach puberty as early as two years of age, before reaching commercial size. Photoperiod treatmen t has been the most efficient strategy to...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Developmental and growth dynamics of the vertebral column in farmed Atlantic salmon

It is well known from birds and mammals that skeletal tissues are dynamic and sensitive to factors such as exercise and nutrition. In the present proposal, we wish to elucidate the effects of mechanic stimulation of vertebrae through exercise, and the eff ects of fast growth on vertebral architec...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Differential protein expression in relation to dietary amino acid composition: a proteomic approach towards understanding growth in fish

Growth is essentially protein deposition. Therefore, optimisation of growth depends on the understanding of amino acid (AA) metabolism. The complexity and possible interactions between the various metabolic processes and regulatory pathways are enormous. It is evident that growth in a living anim...

Further advances: In situ molecular quantification of zooplankton feeding and bactivory in complex marine systems.

The question of who eats what and why has been at the forefront of plankton ecology for over a century. Accurate data on trophic interactions for key organisms, such as copepods and other zooplankton, is vital for understanding the mechanisms that structu re pelagic ecosystems. While many advanc...

BIOMOL-Molekylær biovitenskap og bioteknologi

Use of genome-based microarray analyses to understand the oxidative stress response of an anaerobic microorganism growing at 100°C

Aerobic organisms require molecular O2 for energy conservation. This is a mixed blessing, however, as extremely reactive O2 derivatives (ROS) are produced during normal metabolism that can damage all cellular components. ROS have been implicated in a wide variety of human diseases, including can...

Living with little or no oxygen: from molecules to physiological biodiversity

While most vertebrates die within minutes of anoxia (no oxygen), a few species can tolerate anoxia about 1000 times longer. These include the crucian carp (Carassius carassius, No: karuss), a common fish in Norway, and some turtles. Anoxia and ischemia r elated diseases are the major killers in t...
