MATPROG-Matprogrammet: Norsk mat fra sjø og land

Novel bioactive marine components in prevention of obesity-related diseases.

Det metabolske syndrom er en tilstand hvor en rekke risikofaktorer som overvekt, dyslipidemi, hypertensjon og insulin resistens/ type II diabetes er til stede samtidig. Mange av disse sykdomstilstandene blir påvirket av dietten, i særlig grad av kostens i nnhold av fettsyrer. I tillegg til fettme...

Welfare of Farmed Fish from Harvest to Killing- Meeting the Future Challenge

For salmon, cod and halibut, the fish are often live chilled prior to exsanguination with or without a stunning. From 2007 a new slaughter directive will act demanding that fish are stunned and killed unconsciously. Furthermore the welfare under CO2 suppl ement and chilling is questioned involvin...
