From the fjords to the rivers: Evaluating the spatial distribution of escaped farmed salmon to inform ecologically relevant management strategies
Mahlum, Shad Kenneth (Doctoral thesis, 2020-05-08)Over the last 40 years, the relatively fast expansion of Atlantic salmon aquaculture has created new obstacles for the persistence of wild Atlantic salmon stocks where the two overlap. Now, the greatest threat to existing ... -
Swimming with the fishes: validating drift diving to identify farmed Atlantic salmon escapees in the wild
Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Skoglund, Helge; Wiers, Tore; Norman, Eirik; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Wennevik, Vidar; Glover, Kevin; Urdal, Kurt; Bakke, Gunnar O; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar interbreeding with wild conspecifics represents a threat to the genetic integrity and viability of wild populations. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately quantify escapees in ... -
A test of migratory coupling in the salmon-trout predator-prey complex of a subarctic fjord
Lennox, Robert J.; Espedal, Espen Olsen; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts are vulnerable to predators during their seaward migration. To determine whether sea trout (Salmo trutta) exhibit a coupled migration to exploit the smolt run, we tracked Atlantic salmon ...
