Jerntoksisitet i norske settefiskanlegg - oppskalering og utprøving av vannbehandling med silikat og/eller sjøvann

Basert på VK databasen samt en rekke henvendelser fra norske settefiskanlegg til NIVA i perioden 1999 - 2003 ble det klart at toksisitet av jern var et større problem enn antatt for settefisknæringen i Norge. VK-dataene viser også tydelig at det er anlegg i Midt-Norge som har de største probleme...

Marker-Assisted Selection for IPN resistance in Atlantic salmon

IPN is a major problem in salmon farming. DNA markers linked to resistance genes could be used to improve selection for resistance, through MAS. Here, we propose to combine experimental and theoretical approaches to lay the foundations for MAS on IPN in A tlantic salmon. Genetic material for the...

Alphavirus (Togaviridae) fra laksefisk i norsk oppdrett. Karakterisering, vertikal overføring og studie av vevs/celle-tropisme.

Salmon pancreas disease (SPD) ble først beskrevet fra Skottland i 1984, men var sannsynligvis tilstede i oppdrett av laks i Skottland så tidlig som i 1976. I 1990 ble det vist at sykdommen hadde en infeksiøs årsak. Senere, i 1995, ble det klart at sykdomm en skyldes et togaviruslignende agens som...

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...
