NAERINGSPH-Nærings-phd

Thermal and rheological properties of protein feed ingredients- Impact on the fish feed extrusion process and pellet quality

For en bærekraftig og kosteffektive akvakulturproduksjon har en redusert andelen fiskemel i fôrreseptene blitt erstattet med vegetabilske proteiner. Disse nye reseptene har resultert i økt kompleksitet i ekstruderingsprosessen. Oppskaleringen av lakseproduksjonen har også ført til bruk av transp...

HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Integrert aminosyrebehov hos fisk

Arbeid med alternative proteinkilder til laks har vært studert i flere år og mengden som kan erstattes uten at tilveksten påvirkes er relativt godt kjent. Optimalisering av fôringredienser har i hovedsak fokusert på tilvekst og forutnytting, mens den meta bolske effekten av å erstatte fiskemel me...

Oral delivery of encapsulated viral antigens to Atlantic salmon

A range of viral pathogens currently present a significant challenge to Atlantic salmon operations globally. Injection vaccines are used commercially against a number of virus, but these are not available for small fish and protection may decline some mon ths after seawater transfer. The developm...

Molecular characterisation of Atlantic salmon gut microbiota with changing diet formulations: gut health, performance and disease resistance

Over recent years there has been increasing focus on the replacement of fish meal with plant proteins in salmon diets to improve sustainability of operations. When fed to Atlantic salmon, significant differences in growth performance between these plant p rotein sources (and compared to fishmeal)...

Developing the next generation of oral vaccines for salmonids using plastids in plants

The following programme will develop a new concept of oral vaccines for fish using plastids as bio-factories in plants. The technology will allow the insertion of any gene or combination of genes into a plant plastid genome, resulting in a high level prot ein expression (approx 20% of total cellu...

Combining biomarkers from salmon metabonomics, genomics and proteomics with high-field NMR profiling of fish feed nutrients

Improvements of salmon feed are complex and very expensive, because evaluation of new ingredients and their formulation is by long term feeding trials. The main objective of this program is to develop biomarkers to reduce the time and expense involved wit h feeding trials. Increased speed will al...

Linking the applied EWOS protein replacement program to the basic research in the Aquaculture Protein Centre

Soy has made a significant contribution to sustainable aquaculture by allowing fish meal replacement. However, high dietary levels of soy induce pathological changes in the hindgut of salmonids. This may also be problematic with other plant materials. Th e content of nutrients, structural compou...

Nutrigenomic studies elucidating the metabolic changes expected to take place in salmon fed diets based on sustainable protein sources

Fish fed plant proteins or diets very low in marine proteins generally show reduced growth compared to fish fed fishmeal based diets. In an experiment conducted last year we succeeded in preparing a diet composed of plant protein low in the essential amin o acids lysine, arginine, threonine and t...

Bioaktive fettsyrer i fôr til laks

Bioaktive fettsyrer (TTA og CLA) samt spesifikke proteiner (genistein og dadzein) er vist å påvirke fettomsetning og antioksidantstatus i mennesker og rotter. Prosjektet vil undersøke hvorvidt tilsvarende effekter kan påvises hos atlantisk laks. Videre vi l en i prosjektet undersøke hvordan tilsa...
