For the aquaculture industry it is important to develop methods that include high efficiency in the removal of salmon lice, low costs and minimal negative effects on fish and the environment, while avoiding wastage and labour-intensive operations. AcuLice treatment has been developed to fulfil these requirements and uses a composite acoustic sound image with low-frequency sound to remove salmon lice from Atlantic salmon. This master thesis examines and documents the stress effects on Atlantic salmon as well as the effect on salmon lice dynamics in large-scale of the AcuLice system. The stress effects of salmon were characterized by measuring the concentration of cortisol (primary stress response) and glucose, lactic acid, chloride, calcium and magnesium (secondary stress response) in the blood, as well as calculating specific growth rate (tertiary stress response). These measurements were compared with a control sample prior to AcuLice treatment (primary – and secondary response) or the reference group (tertiary response). The effect of AcuLice treatment on salmon lice dynamics was measured by weekly salmon lice counting’s at the facilities from week 30, 2019 to week 20, 2020. The number of salmon lice treatments in the same period, was also recorded and compared between the AcuLice - and reference group. In addition, numbers of weeks until the first salmon lice treatment (mechanical treatment) was compared between the two groups. The findings from the stress analyses showed no significant difference in the primary stress response measurements between the AcuLice and control group. In addition, apart from slight increase in plasma glucose, no significant difference was observed in in the secondary or tertiary stress response measured. Furthermore, a significant higher number of small salmon lice was found in the AcuLice facilities compared to the reference. For the mature female salmon lice, a significant lower number was shown for the AcuLice group. In addition, a lower number of salmon lice treatments and a longer production period before the first salmon lice treatment occurred was observed at the AcuLice facilities. The experiments suggest that AcuLice treatment does not have a negative effect on Atlantic salmon when it comes to acute stress and that the treatment has a positive effect on reduction of salmon lice pressure at the production site.

Betydelige drivere for transformasjon i lakseoppdrettsnæringen innebærer i denne studien politiske forhold, behov for bærekraft og finanskapital. For å undersøke hvorfor landbasert som nisje tilsynelatende er den foretrukne løsning for investeringsforetak, undersøkes driverne ytterligere. Politiske forhold er nært knyttet til behov for bærekraft, da myndighetene søker å tilrettelegge for miljømessig \n bærekraftig vekst i næringen. Vi ser at både politikk og bærekraft er en viktig del av transformasjonen, og i forbindelse med fokuset på landbasert som nisje. Finanskapital oppleves som en driver som spesielt synes i utvelgingsprosessen av nisjen og dermed betydelig i endringsbildet.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe aquaculture industry is currently facing a restructuring process. The Norwegian government wishes to facilitate environmentally sustainable growth in the industry, though concurrently this growth is not obtainable for conventional aquaculture due to current regulations. In response to this, several different solutions for new forms of production for Atlantic salmon are being investigated. Land-based facilities for food fish (full-cycle) have received increasing focus in recent years as a potential sustainable solution. The media picture illustrates this flourishing of new projects, as well as the enormous amounts of capital the projects attract. The study seeks to shed light on the origin of this capital and why capital moves towards land-based projects specifically. Through investigating transition literature the study identifies conventional farming as a regime and land-based farming as a\nniche in a socio-technical system. The movements (behavior) of capital are studied as \n financial capital, according to Carlota Perez's definition and use of the term. The focal question of the study seeks to explain to what extent the financing of land-based facilities indicates an investor-driven transition in the salmon farming industry. The term investor-driven transition is used in this study to provide a clearer picture of the phenomenon being studied. The term emerged from the interaction between the study's theoretical and empirical basis. The empirical basis of the study is based on 15 in-depth interviews with strategically selected informants, which represent several different perspectives on the restructuring of the industry, as well as a survey answered by 11 of the 20 largest global salmon farming companies. The study also includes secondary data. Empirical data places the transition in the early stages, based on two theoretical models for a socio-technical and\ntechno-economic system. Furthermore, important drivers for the transition are investigated.\nSignificant drivers of transition in the salmon farming industry in this study involve political\nconditions, need for sustainability and financial capital. To investigate why land-based as a niche seem the preferred solution for investment firms, key drivers are further investigated. Political conditions are closely linked to the need for sustainability, as the authorities seek to facilitate  environmentally sustainable growth in the industry. Political conditions and sustainability are important factors in the transition process and important drivers for land-based as preferred solution. The role of financial capital is most visible in the niche sphere and in effect becomes important in the transition process.","category":"Master Thesis","title":"Investordrevet transformasjon i lakseoppdrett: Finansiering som nisjedriver i et sosio-teknisk system || Investor-driven transition in the salmon farming industry: Financing as niche driver in a sociotechnical system ","author":"Solveig Finsland og Therese Skarlo ","slug":"investordrevet-transformasjon-i-lakseoppdrett-finansiering-som-nisjedriver-i-et-sosio-teknisk-system-investor-driven-transition-in-the-salmon-farming-industry-financing-as-niche-driver-in-a-sociotechnical-system","organizations":["HVL"," KABIS "],"tags":["Aquaculture"," Land Based"," salmon"," Transition"," Transformasjon"," Finansiering "],"start":"September 2020","end":"June 2021"},{"id":"ee299712-aff9-5d49-a24c-f3a1942f0e54","coverUrl":"","description":"PHD Project Tharmini Kalananthan","category":"PhD","title":"Neuroendocrine factors involved in appetite control","author":"Tharmini Kalananthan","slug":"neuroendocrine-factors-involved-in-appetite-control","organizations":["Uinversity of Bergen"],"tags":["Aquaculture"," Physiology"],"start":"May 2018","end":"May 2021"},{"id":"e7e72bb1-5126-5ffe-bb7b-092dce220331","coverUrl":"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1F23nMgIGM6nHtok72q5GcM0x8Z1NrXzK","description":"The intensification of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post-smolt production to enhance growth performance has promoted a rise in precocious male maturation rates. Unlike traditional parr maturation, which seems to be highly dependent on genetic background, post-smolt maturation seem to be more linked to intensive rearing conditions. This study focused on the relationship between different temperatures and feeding rations on precocious male maturation and early gonad development in Atlantic salmon pre- smolts. Early gonad development was used as an indicator for post-smolt maturation. Juvenile salmon (n = 1800) were reared at three different temperatures (8, 12.5, and 18°C) and two different feeding rations (67%, 100%), producing six experimental groups (8-67%, 8-100%, 12.5-67%. 12.5-100%, 18-67%, 18- 100%). An LD24:0 photoperiod was maintained throughout the experiment with a five-week winter signal (LD12:12) induction in February-March to promote developmental events. Growth (body weight, CF), hepatosomatic index (HSI), gonadosomatic index (GSI), gonadotropin receptors transcription (fshr, lhr), gonadotropin-responsive transcription (amh, gdsf1, gsdf2, igf3), plasma 11-Ketotestosterone (11-KT) concentrations, and spermatogenic activity were used as indicators for maturational advancements. According to the present results, the intensive rearing groups (18°C-100%, 18°C-67%, 12.5°C-100%) experienced a high developmental rate, stimulating spermatogenetic advancement. In comparison, less intensive rearing groups (12.5°C-67%, 8°C-100%, 8°C-67%) displayed lesser physiological development with corresponding low or no spermatogenetic advances. Results suggest high temperatures (18°C) to be one of the main contributors to trigger precocious male maturation in Atlantic salmon, controlling the rate and magnitude of gonadal development independently of the feeding ration. Intermediate temperature (12.5°C) seems to be more dependent on intensive feed rations to fully mature, as the full-fed group displayed a moderate percentage of maturational advancements with corresponding physiological development than the restricted feeding group. This proposes that the relevance of feed rations on precocious male maturation may be dependent on temperature. Low rearing temperatures (8°C) seemed to impair the maturational process independently of feeding rations, further supporting the importance of temperature as a precocious maturation trigger. For the salmon industry, this means that intensive rearing may enhance growth, but at the cost of a high proportion of early maturation. By rearing fish at lower intensities (12.5°C-67%, 8°C-100%, 8°C-67%), it is possible to achieve growth and avoid maturation simultaneously.","category":"Master Thesis","title":"Influence of temperature and feeding on early sexual maturation commitment in male Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, L.) during the freshwater stage","author":"Markus Førde Braanaas","slug":"influence-of-temperature-and-feeding-on-early-sexual-maturation-commitment-in-male-atlantic-salmon-salmo-salar-l-during-the-freshwater-stage","organizations":["UiB"," NORCE"," "],"tags":["Aquaculture"," salmon"," Intensive production"],"start":"October 2018","end":"March 2021"},{"id":"bf59d64b-63de-5d72-b3c0-982129b4f67b","coverUrl":"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1RqIi6BZrELBLbZyd500kaWiZzhA3AXgb","description":"Today, there is a lot of expectations considering how firms in the aquaculture industry are handling challenges associated with sustainability. There has been experienced great growth in the aquaculture industry these last years, which has resulted in numerous environmental challenges. This has led to the industry having to be restructured and developed more sustainably. Three research questions were designed in which concerns firms work on sustainability, drivers and barriers and how the aquaculture industry uses responsible innovation for a more sustainable development. To elucidate the research questions, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine companies covering different parts of the value chain in the aquaculture industry. Sustainable development is a concept that is becoming increasingly integrated with companies, where they must take into account the relationship between economy, society and the environment, which we refer to in this paper as the triple bottom line. It is about economic, environmental and social sustainability. Social sustainability is highlighted during research on Corprate Social Responsibilty (CSR). CSR is about taking responsibility for the company's impact on society, and throughout the analysis, we see an increasing focus with the companies, and that innovation is an important part of their development. Several factors drives the companies to work with innovation and sustainable development, both at firm level and system level agency, but they will also face several obstacles that make their work more difficult. In order for the development of companies to be sustainable and to safeguard the three bottom lines, responsible innovations will meet an important contribution. Responsible innovation is about taking care of the future through innovation and the triple bottom line. We also see a tendency for companies in the industry to increasingly emphasize the economic, environmental, and social bottom line.","category":"Master Thesis","title":"A study on responsible innovation and sustainable development in the aquaculture industry in Western Norway","author":"Hanna Kjøniksen & Thea Hope","slug":"a-study-on-responsible-innovation-and-sustainable-development-in-the-aquaculture-industry-in-western-norway","organizations":["HVL"," Skretting"," Bremnes Seashore"," AKVA Group"," Tytlandsvik  Akva"," Eide Fjordbruk"," Grieg Seafood"," Ocean Quality"," Firda Seafood Group"],"tags":["Aquaculture"," Land Based"," salmon"," smolt"," Innovation"," sustainability"],"start":"January 2020","end":"June 2020"},{"id":"a01c826e-d19a-564f-ab3f-1af36414f28e","coverUrl":"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1iKuMXFxmVWg89O5SH1sAAeSt5PFNsaop","description":"The salmon industry faces challenges related to sea lice infestations, escapees, diseases\nand environmental impact. Semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) have been proposed to\nabate these challenges. In the S-CCS, cultured fish are separated from the natural environment\nby a physical barrier. The use of these systems reduces the time fish spend living in open sea\ncages.\nThis study investigated and documented welfare and growth performance of Atlantic\nsalmon through an acute challenge test experiment and a big-scale benchmark study.\nThe acute challenge test experiment was conducted using post-smolts raised in two large\nscale semi-closed system (S-CCS: Preline and Neptune), with reference groups raised in open\nsea cages. The post-smolt was stressed by confining them in a holding tank with reduced water\nlevel for a short period. Corresponding baseline sampling was done on unstressed fish for\ncomparable measurements.\nFor the benchmark study, selected production data from six generations of salmon was\nused to compare growth and performance of fish raised in S-CCS (Preline) and in open sea\ncages (reference). The benchmark study was carried out in two phases. Phase one used postsmolts from approximately 100 g to 800 g in seawater, and fish in S-CCS were compared with\na reference group from an open sea cage. The second, grow-out phase used salmon from\napproximately 800 g to 5000 g in open sea cages; here fish previously reared in S-CCS were\ncompared with fish from a reference group.\nFish raised in the S-CCS showed lower concentration of plasma cortisol, magnesium\nand lactic acid at baseline levels, giving a stronger response to the acute stress challenge than\nfish from the reference group. The results suggest lower basal stress in the S-CCS group\ncompared with the reference group in open sea cages, as well as a more balanced response to\nstress in the S-CCS fish.\nThe findings from the benchmark analyses showed a significantly lower infestation of\nsea lice in Preline fish during the post-smolt phase. Furthermore, in the grow-out phase the\nPreline group showed higher weight gain and final weight (4.654 kg in spring and 4.872 kg in\nfall) compared to the reference group (3.797 kg in spring and 4.030 kg in fall) in open pen.\nFinally, salmon raised in Preline showed significantly higher survival compared to the reference\ngroup, indicating increased robustness in fish raised in S-CCS when transferred to open net\npens in sea.\nAs the results indicate reduced stress, lower sea lice infestations and greater weight gain,\nS-CCS appears to have advantages compared to traditional long exposure to the natural\nenvironment in open sea cages in Norway. However, to determine the real potential of S-CCS\nstrategy, further research is needed.","category":"Master Thesis","title":"Growth performance and welfare of post-smolt (Salmo salar L.) reared in semi closed containment systems (S-CCS) – a comparative study","author":"Tarald Kleppa Øvrebø","slug":"growth-performance-and-welfare-of-post-smolt-salmo-salar-l-reared-in-semi-closed-containment-systems-s-ccs-a-comparative-study","organizations":["UiB"," UiS"," Lerøy"," Mowi"," CtrlAqua"," Forskningsrådet"," Norce "],"tags":["Aquaculture"," Semi-closed system"," salmon"," smolt"],"start":"March 2019","end":"May 2020"},{"id":"1b9b0470-358d-53f8-b57b-fcdfeb649c01","coverUrl":"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1WUI3rbduyqwkSVMnCOeM1SET2_dIEcVj","description":"Rainbow trout aquaculture is growing rapidly, as is the body of research that supports this \nindustry. However, there remains a need for better understanding the fundamentals of the \nsmoltification process. This thesis examines the effect of two different brackish water \ntreatments on smoltification in addition to standard smoltification in freshwater of rainbow trout \n(Oncorhynchus mykiss). The project includes two experiments: 1. Smolt development and \nperformance during salinity treatment 2. Seawater response and performance after \nsmoltification during salinity treatment. Smolt development and seawater response was\ncharacterized using gill mRNA transcription (nkaα1a, nkaα1b and nkcc1a), gill Na+\n/K+\n-\nATPase activity and plasma ion concentration (Cl- and Na+\n). Moreover, growth of the different \nsalinity treatments and after seawater transfer was recorded. Rainbow trout were exposed to a \nwater salinity of approximately 1 ‰ (freshwater control group), 4 ‰ and 15 ‰ in the course \nof smoltification. Salinity induced an earlier smolt development by activating a rapid change in \nthe mRNA transcription of the α-isoforms nkaα1a (freshwater isoform) and nkaα1b (seawater \nisoform), which, in turn, induced an earlier peak of the Na+\n/K+\n-ATPase (NKA) activity. Salinity \nhad no effect on growth during smoltification. Rainbow trout transferred during the preparatory\nsmoltification phase differed from the rainbow trout transferred after the completion of\nsmoltification. This early transfer induced an upregulated mRNA transcription of the seawater \nα-isoform nkaα1b and the co-transporter nkcc1a after seawater entry. It also induced an increase \nin the specific growth rate (SGR) of weight. No major differences were observed among \ntreatment groups, suggesting that timing of seawater transfer is more important than salinity rearing conditions.

The hypothalamus is believed to be the main site for signal integration and control of appetite and feed intake. Previous studies on involvement of neuropeptides in appetite regulation in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been based on analysis of whole brain. No studies have involved dissection of the brain to quantify the spatial and temporal expression of the neuropeptides involved in appetite regulation in different parts of the brain. \n\nNeuropeptide Y (NPY), cocaine- amphetamine related transcript (CART), agouti-related protein 1 (AgRP-1) and proopiomelanocortin- a2s (POMCa2s) are neuropeptides believed to be involved in appetite regulation in Atlantic salmon. In the present study the mRNA concentration of these neuropeptides was assessed by qPCR in 6 parts of the brain. \n\nThere was a significantly higher mRNA concentration of NPY in the forebrain compared to all the other tissues of the brain. POMCa2s showed a significant higher mRNA concentration in the pituitary than in all other parts of the brain. CART had a significantly higher expression in the forebrain than in cerebellum and pituitary while AgRP-1 showed no significant differences in mRNA concentration among the different brain tissues. As part of this study the fish went through a vaccination period that involved fasting, and the only significant differences found were in the forebrain for POMCa2s and in the midbrain for NPY. \n\nThe extensive expression of neuropeptides involved in appetite control in different parts of the brain suggest other roles than appetite control for these neuropeptides, and/or the appetite control is being supplemented from other parts of the brain than the hypothalamus. This study shows that further research on the involvement of the neuropeptides in control of appetite cannot be based on analysis of whole brain and needs to focus on specific regions and signaling pathways.","category":"Master Thesis","title":"Neuroendocrine factors involved in appetite control and feed intake in salmon.","author":"Gunnar Merckoll Berg","slug":"neuroendocrine-factors-involved-in-appetite-control-and-feed-intake-in-salmon","organizations":["UiB"],"tags":["Aquaculture"," salmon"],"start":"August 2017","end":"June 2018"}]},"cover":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDABALDA4MChAODQ4SERATGCgaGBYWGDEjJR0oOjM9PDkzODdASFxOQERXRTc4UG1RV19iZ2hnPk1xeXBkeFxlZ2P/2wBDARESEhgVGC8aGi9jQjhCY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2NjY2P/wgARCAANABQDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QAFgABAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEF/8QAFgEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME/9oADAMBAAIQAxAAAAHPpfHFH//EABQQAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACD/2gAIAQEAAQUCX//EABQRAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABD/2gAIAQMBAT8BP//EABQRAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABD/2gAIAQIBAT8BP//EABQQAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACD/2gAIAQEABj8CX//EABQQAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACD/2gAIAQEAAT8hX//aAAwDAQACAAMAAAAQtx//xAAUEQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ/9oACAEDAQE/ED//xAAUEQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQ/9oACAECAQE/ED//xAAXEAADAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABEBFR/9oACAEBAAE/EJiiK//Z","aspectRatio":1.5015015015015014,"src":"/static/cf00f74fac36fec0b03bec8fb88f60de/d84b0/cover.jpg","srcSet":"/static/cf00f74fac36fec0b03bec8fb88f60de/72270/cover.jpg 500w,\n/static/cf00f74fac36fec0b03bec8fb88f60de/553e7/cover.jpg 1000w,\n/static/cf00f74fac36fec0b03bec8fb88f60de/d84b0/cover.jpg 2000w","sizes":"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px"}}},"project":{"childImageSharp":{"fluid":{"base64":"data:image/png;base64,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","aspectRatio":1.6666666666666667,"src":"/static/0f5082d22dd548f2e5aaf24fdae2d261/46604/project.png","srcSet":"/static/0f5082d22dd548f2e5aaf24fdae2d261/69585/project.png 200w,\n/static/0f5082d22dd548f2e5aaf24fdae2d261/497c6/project.png 400w,\n/static/0f5082d22dd548f2e5aaf24fdae2d261/46604/project.png 500w","sizes":"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px"}}}},"pageContext":{}}}
