  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. Evaluation of River Restoration Measures: Interstitial Habitat Variables and Salmon Hatching Rates as Indicators of Success

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning; Uppsala universitet/Limnologi

    Author : Jonas Emanuelsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : River ecosystems are some of the most complex ecosystems on Earth, characterized by a highly heterogenous environment which is able to sustain a disproportionally high level of biodiversity in relation to the area of which they occupy. However, anthropogenic activities are encroaching on the highly diverse riverine landscape, threatening freshwater biodiversity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Potential migration routes for the alien species, pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) : investigating access in west and south coast rivers of Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Rebecca Martin; [2023]
    Keywords : invasive; alien species; salmonid; anadromous; migration barriers;

    Abstract : Invasive alien species are one of the main drivers of ecosystem change globally, presenting challenges to biodiversity that take many forms Pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, has recently been observed on the Swedish west coast where its presence is the result of secondary spreading from populations introduced to the White and Barents Seas in northwestern Russia. In Sweden, O. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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.
