  1. 1. Development of osmo- and appetite regulation during transfer of smolt from freshwater to increasing salinities

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Jonna Hellesten; [2023-01-26]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is common in Scandinavian aquaculture and must be transferred from freshwater to seawater to grow properly. Despite being assessed as ready smolts, meaning they have gone through the physiological changes to prepare for SW transfer, the transfer result in a mortality rate of around 13-19%, and significant appetite- and growth reductions.

  3. 2. Effects of summer peaks on brown trout and Atlantic salmon growth and survival in hydropower-regulated Gullspång River

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Oscar Hallberg; [2023]
    Keywords : hydropeaking; hydropower; fish; salmon; salmo salar; salmo trutta; summer; survival; growth; parr; fry; korttidsreglering; vattenkraft; salmonid; salmo salar; salmo trutta; tillväxt; överlevnad; lax; öring;

    Abstract : Daily demands for electrical power are met through sub-daily release of turbined water in the form of hydropeaking. Hydropeaking’s changes to stream flow are listed as a threat to biodiversity in river ecosystems as it causes rapid habitat alteration such as increased depth and velocity, affecting the species living downstream.

  4. 3. Evaluation of restoration efforts in Dalälven - conditions for survival rate of Salmo trutta and Salmo salar

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Ville Svärd; [2023]
    Keywords : Restoration; river; salmonids; benthic fauna;

    Abstract : Rivers are among the most anthropogenically affected ecosystems in the world by irrigation, transportation, channelizing, and hydropower. Habitat restorations have become a popular method to restore the heterogeneity and complexity of rivers aiming for improvement of biodiversity. READ MORE

  5. 4. Evaluating an increased spill regime as a management tool to improve downstream passage of salmon smolt

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för miljö- och livsvetenskaper (from 2013)

    Author : Mattias Hansson; [2022]
    Keywords : hydraulic modeling; hydroacoustic telemetry; time to event analysis; hydraulisk modellering; överlevnadsanalys; hydroakustisk telemetri;

    Abstract : The anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is dependent on river connectivity to reach spawning and rearing habitats in rivers. Most rivers are today fragmented by artificial barriers such as hydroelectric powerplants (HEP) which impede this migratory movement. READ MORE

  6. 5. Behavior effects of a psychotropic pharmaceutical contaminant on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) juveniles : Atlantic salmon juveniles exposed to two different oxazepam concentrations

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Dimitra Kampezidou; [2021]
    Keywords : oxazepam; anxiolytics; benzodiazepines; pharmaceutical contaminant; pollution; Atlantic salmon salmo salar ; anxiety-like behavior;

    Abstract : Environmental pollution by pharmaceuticals is an issue of concern that is currently attracting attention around the world. Although environmental effects of pharmaceutical contaminants are not yet well documented, studies have shown that these substances may have the potential to disrupt the biotic component of an ecosystem.
