• Calanus finmarchicus hydrolysate improves growth performance in feeding trial with European sea bass juveniles and increases skeletal muscle growth in cell studies 

      Bøgwald, Isak; Østbye, Tone‑Kari K; Pedersen, Alice Marie; Rønning, Sissel Beate; Dias, Jorge; Eilertsen, Karl-Erik; Wubshet, Sileshi Gizachew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-29)
      The world will be dependent on the development of novel feed ingredients from renewable sources to ensure sustainable growth of the aquaculture industry. Zooplankton like Calanus finmarchicus are viable new raw material candidates, as they have optimal nutrient profiles for aquatic animals and may be sustainably harvested in large volumes. In this study, the aim was to investigate if a protein ...
    • Calanus® Oil. Utilization, composition and digestion 

      Pedersen, Alice Marie (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-07-03)
      In the pelagic system, phytoplankton are the main producers of n-3 LC-PUFA and make up the foundation of the oceanic food web. Zooplankton, such as copepods and krill, are the most numerous primary consumers in the marine environment and have a central role in the energy transfer to higher trophic levels. The copepod Calanus finmarchicus is present in large amounts in the North Atlantic and has ...
    • Effect of Calanus finmarchicus Hydrolysate Inclusion on Diet Attractiveness for Whiteleg Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) 

      Bøgwald, Isak; Herrig, Simon; Pedersen, Alice Marie; Wubshet, Sileshi Gizachew; Eilertsen, Karl-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-13)
      Shrimp feed formulations have moved towards less fish meal and more of the readily available and cheaper plant proteins. To counteract the lower attractiveness and palatability of plant proteins, feeds are supplemented with ingredients known to have chemoattractive properties that will increase feed intake. This study investigated the putative chemoattractive effect of Calanus finmarchicus hydrolysate, ...
    • Obesity-induced alterations in the gut microbiome in female mice fed a high-fat diet are antagonized by dietary supplementation with a novel, wax ester–rich, marine oil 

      Schots, Pauke C.; Jansen, Kirsten Maria; Mrazek, Jakub; Pedersen, Alice Marie; Olsen, Ragnar Ludvig; Larsen, Terje Steinar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-09)
      Dietary supplementation with calanus oil, a novel wax ester–rich marine oil, has been shown to reduce adiposity in high-fat diet (HFD)–induced obese mice. Current evidence suggests that obesity and its comorbidities are intrinsically linked with unfavorable changes in the intestinal microbiome. Thus, in line with its antiobesity effect, we hypothesized that dietary supplementation with calanus oil ...
    • Olje fra raudåte (Calanus finmarchicus). Oksidativ stabilitet, fettklasser og karotenoidinnhold. 

      Pedersen, Alice Marie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-11-28)
      I senere tid har oppmerksomhet blitt rettet mot fangst av raudåte i de norske havområdene. Det er utviklet egne fangst og prosesseringsteknikker, og bruksområdene for raudåteproduktene kan være mange. Olje utvunnet fra raudåte har et høyt innhold langskjedede n-3 fettsyrer, voksestere og naturlige antioksidanter. Hensikten med oppgaven var å undersøke oljens oksidative stabilitet ved langtidslagring, ...
    • Possible Health Effects of a Wax Ester Rich Marine Oil 

      Schots, Pauke C.; Pedersen, Alice Marie; Eilertsen, Karl-Erik; Olsen, Ragnar Ludvig; Larsen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-26)
      The consumption of seafood and the use of fish oil for the production of nutraceuticals and fish feed have increased over the past decades due the high content of long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. This increase has put pressure on the sustainability of fisheries. One way to overcome the limited supply of fish oil is to harvest lower in the marine food web. <i>Calanus finmarchicus</i>, ...
