Considering sampling bias in close-kin mark–recapture abundance estimates of Atlantic salmon

Wacker, Sebastian; Skaug, Hans Julius; Forseth, Torbjørn; Solem, Øyvind; Ulvan, Eva Marita; Fiske, Peder; Karlsson, Sten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)

Genetic methods for the estimation of population size can be powerful alternatives to conventional methods. Close-kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is based on the principles of conventional mark–recapture, but instead of being ...
Higher mortality of the less suitable brown trout host compared to the principal Atlantic salmon host when infested with freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) glochidia

Marwaha, Janhavi; Jakobsen, Per; Karlsson, Sten; Larsen, Bjørn Mejdell; Wacker, Sebastian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)

The freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is a highly host-specific parasite, with an obligate parasitic stage on salmonid fish. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta f. trutta and ...
Multiple paternity promotes genetic diversity in captive breeding of a freshwater mussel

Wacker, Sebastian; Larsen, Bjørn Mejdell; Jakobsen, Per Johan; Karlsson, Sten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)

Captive breeding can be an important supplement to habitat restoration in the conservation of threatened species. Careful choice of breeding regimes and genetic monitoring are essential to maintain genetic integrity and ...
