    • Quantifying the Ocean, Freshwater and Human Effects on Year-to-Year Variability of One-Sea-Winter Atlantic Salmon Angled in Multiple Norwegian Rivers 

      Villar, Jaime Otero; Jensen, Arne Johan; L'abee-Lund, Jan Henning; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Storvik, Geir Olve; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Many Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, populations are decreasing throughout the species' distributional range probably due to several factors acting in concert. A number of studies have documented the influence of freshwater ...
