  1. 6. Thermal tolerance of native vs. invasive marine species at the Northern coast of Portugal

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofie Michelsen; [2023]
    Keywords : Biodiversity; Climate change; Marine ecosystems; Marine heat waves; Intertidal environment; Invasive species; Macroalgae; Mussels; Sustainable Development; Thermal tolerance;

    Abstract : Two prominent factors posing a major threat to biodiversity in marine ecosystems are climate change and the establishment of invasive species, and the interaction between these two. Because of the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water, the coast of Portugal is a thermal refuge and distribution edge for cold-adapted species, making it a particularly important study area from a biodiversity point of view.

  3. 7. Production, in vitro modification, and interaction analysis of a hydroxyproline-dependent protein

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

    Author : Milica Plavsic; [2023]
    Keywords : protein production optimisation; recombinant expression; bioreactor; prolyl hydroxylase; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry; microscale thermophoresis;

    Abstract : The development of a biologic protein involves different stages and becomes a highly complex process which can be costly and time consuming to scale up for industrial production. Therefore, optimization is a necessary part of the production process development to lower the production expenses. READ MORE

  4. 8. Replacement of fish protein in fish feed : effects on the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Hanna Rydmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbiota; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; fishmeal; mussel meal; Mytilus edulis; aquaculture;

    Abstract : The aim with this study was to investigate how feeds with different protein sources influence the levels and composition of the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Arctic charr were fed for two weeks on a control diet (C) with fishmeal (FM) or experimental diets with 40% FM replaced by yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Y), meal from blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) (M) or a feed with Baltic Sea originated protein; 33% FM, 33% mussel meal (MM) and 33% S.

    Author : Jordan Sutherland; [2022-08-30]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is a recurring topic of controversy among public groups, often visible through news media representation. The media is an important source of information and communication, that both influences and reflects social consensus. READ MORE

  6. 10. STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM: USING LOW TROPHIC SPECIES IN SALMON FEEDS. Assessing the environmental performance of novel salmon feeds with LCA .

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Moritz Hempel; [2022-08-30]
    Keywords : LCA; Salmon aquaculture; novel feeds; seaweed; blue mussel;

    Abstract : Over the past 30 years, the formulation of salmon feeds has shifted from being based on marine ingredients like fishmeal and fish oil towards more plant-based ingredients. This shift was caused by limited supply of wild fish and general sustainability concerns related to using forage fish for feed, so they were mainly replaced with vegetable-protein. READ MORE
