Cleaner fish growth, welfare and survival in Atlantic salmon sea cages during an autumn-winter production
Geitung, Lena; Wright, Daniel William; Oppedal, Frode; Stien, Lars Helge; Vågseth, Tone; Madaro, Angelico (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cleaner fish used as a biological control agent against salmon lice is rapidly increasing in Atlantic salmon aquaculture. However, concerns have been raised about the welfare and mortality of cleaner fish in salmon cage ... -
Does the thermal component of warm water treatment inflict acute lesions on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)?
Moltumyr, Lene; Gismervik, Kristine; Gu, Jinni; Gåsnes, Siri Kristine; Kristiansen, Tore S; Rønnestad, Ivar; Nilsson, Jonatan; Stien, Lars Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Warm water treatment, i.e. exposure to sea water at a temperature of 28–34 °C for 20–30 s, has in recent years been widely used for delousing of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in ... -
The effect of temperature on ability of Lepeophtheirus salmonis to infect and persist on Atlantic salmon
Dalvin, Sussie; Hamre, Lars Are; Skern-Mauritzen, Rasmus; Vågseth, Tone; Stien, Lars Helge; Oppedal, Frode; Bui, Samantha (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is an ecologically and economically important parasite of salmonid fish. Temperature is a strong influencer of biological processes in salmon lice, with development rate increased ... -
The influence of anaerobic muscle activity, maturation and season on the flesh quality of farmed turbot
Roth, Bjørn; Imsland, Albert K.; Stien, Lars Helge; Schelvis-Smit, Rian; Gunnarsson, Snorri; Foss, Atle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-04-26)In order to test seasonal, rearing, maturing and anaerobic muscle activity effect on the flesh quality of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) a total of 80 farmed turbot from three different strains from reared under natural or ... -
The interaction between water currents and salmon swimming behaviour in sea cages
Johansson, David; Laursen, Frida Maria; Fernø, Anders; Fosseidengen, Jan Erik; Pascal, Klebert; Stien, Lars Helge; Vågseth, Tone; Oppedal, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-15)Positioning of sea cages at sites with high water current velocities expose the fish to a largely unknown environmental challenge. In this study we observed the swimming behaviour of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) at a ... -
Long-term welfare effects of repeated warm water treatments on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Moltumyr, Lene; Nilsson, Jonatan; Madaro, Angelico; Seternes, Tore; Winger, Fredrik Agerup; Rønnestad, Ivar; Stien, Lars Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Warm water treatment has in recent years become widely used for ridding salmonids of sea lice in aquaculture although the consequences of the treatment for fish welfare are not adequately investigated. The objective of ... -
Not too slow, not too fast: water currents affect group structure, aggression and welfare in post-smolt Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
Solstorm, Frida; Solstorm, David; Oppedal, Frode; Olsen, Rolf Erik; Stien, Lars Helge; Fernö, Anders (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Increased swimming speed of Atlantic salmon is generally considered an improvement to welfare under aquaculture settings, as group structure is improved and agonistic behaviour reduced. As such, establishing fish farms in ... -
Snorkel sea-cage technology decreases salmon louse infestation by 75% in a full-cycle commercial test
Geitung, Lena; Oppedal, Frode; Stien, Lars Helge; Dempster, Timothy David; Karlsbakk, Egil; Nola, Velimir; Wright, Daniel William (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-13)Methods to prevent parasite infestations in farmed fish are becoming widespread, yet tests of their effectiveness often lack commercial relevance and statistical power, which may lead to technology misuse. Here, we examined ... -
Surface environment modification in Atlantic salmon sea-cages: Effects on amoebic gill disease, salmon lice, growth and welfare
Wright, Daniel William; Geitung, Lena; Karlsbakk, Egil; Stien, Lars Helge; Dempster, Timothy David; Oldham, Tina; Nola, Velimir; Oppedal, Frode (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Surface environment modification is a potential parasite control strategy in Atlantic salmon sea-cage farming. For instance, a temporary low salinity surface layer in commercial-scale snorkel sea-cages has coincided with ... -
Tapeworm (Eubothrium sp.) infestation in sea caged Atlantic salmon decreased by lice barrier snorkels during a commercial-scale study
Geitung, Lena; Wright, Daniel W.; Stien, Lars Helge; Oppedal, Frode; Karlsbakk, Egil (Journal article, 2021)Reports of infestation by marine parasitic tapeworms (Eubothrium sp.) and an associated growth reduction in Norwegian farmed salmon are on the rise. With few acceptable treatment options available, due to drug resistance ... -
Triploidy leads to a mismatch of smoltification biomarkers in the gill and differences in the optimal salinity for post-smolt growth in Atlantic salmon
de Fonseka, Raneesha; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Sambraus, Florian; Nilsen, Tom Ole; Remø, Sofie C.; Stien, Lars Helge; Reinardy, Helena; Madaro, Angelico; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Fraser, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Sterile triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) show inconsistent seawater grow-out, but the reason why remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine the salinity optima of triploid post-smolts. Diploids and ...
