• Atlantic salmon Salmo salar instantaneously follow vertical light movements in sea cages 

      Wright, Daniel William; Glaropoulos, Alexis; Solstorm, David; Stien, Lars Helge; Oppedal, Frode (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Atlantic salmon in marine farming environments are exposed to potentially detrimental conditions through space and time. For instance, the vertical distribution of parasitic salmon lice larvae shifts in response to changing ...
    • Fast currents reduce production performance of post-smolt Atlantic salmon. 

      Solstorm, Frida; Solstorm, David; Oppedal, Frode; Fernø, Anders; Fraser, Thomas; Olsen, Rolf Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-17)
      In the future, an increasing number of salmon farms may be located in areas with fast water current velocity due to limited availability of more sheltered locations. However, there is little information as to how fast ...
    • Nearby farms are a source of lice for wild salmonids: a reply to Jansen et al. (2016) 

      Serra-Llinares, Rosa Maria; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Finstad, Bengt; Nilsen, Rune; Asplin, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-17)
      Jansen et al. (2016; Aquacult Environ Interact 8:349-350) question the regression analysis presented in Serra-Llinares et al. (2014; Aquacult Environ Interact 5:1-16), which correlates lice abundances on farmed and wild ...
    • Toward a model-based prediction system for salmon lice infestation pressure 

      Sandvik, Anne Dagrun; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Ådlandsvik, Bjørn; Asplin, Lars; Skardhamar, Jofrid; Johnsen, Ingrid Askeland; Myksvoll, Mari Skuggedal; Skogen, Morten D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-08)
      High salmon lice density is a threat to wild and farmed salmonid fish in Norway. To assess and identify areas for high salmon lice infestation pressure, continuous monitoring is necessary. The national Norwegian salmon ...
    • Use of fatty acid profiles to monitor the escapehistory of farmed Atlantic salmon 

      Skilbrei, Ove; Normann, Eirik; Meier, Sonnich; Olsen, Rolf Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-18)
      Farmed Atlantic salmon can escape from fish farms at various stages of their life, from juveniles to large mature fish. Escapees that enter rivers to spawn pose a threat to the genetic integrity of wild populations. Knowledge ...
