I am a marine biologist and fish nutritionist working as a researcher in the research center Foods of Norway, at NMBU. My goal is to contribute to developing a stronger immune system and gut microbiota in Atlantic Salmon through Nutrition, by using novel and more sustainable ingredients!
- Fish nutrition
- Microbiota
