      Smolt migration through lakes is hazardous, as the predation pressure can be extreme and the hydrology a great contrast to that of a riverine area. However, the mechanisms yielding these challenges have been scarcely ...
    • Does vaterite otolith deformation affect post-release survival and predation susceptibility of hatchery-reared juvenile Atlantic Salmon? 

      Delaval, Aurelien Nicolas; Solås, Martine Røysted; Skoglund, Helge; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Sagittal otoliths are calcareous structures in the inner ear of fishes involved in hearing and balance. They are usually composed of aragonite; however, aragonite can be replaced by vaterite, a deformity which is more ...

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Populations of fishes provide valuable services for billions of people, but face diverse and interacting threats that jeopardize their sustainability. Human population growth and intensifying resource use for food, water, ...
    • Genetic structure of Sufflogobius bibarbatus in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem using microsatellite markers 

      Gunawickrama, Kristogu Baduge Suneetha; Delaval, Aurelien Nicolas; Johansen, Torild; van der Plas, Anja; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The bearded goby Sufflogobius bibarbatus is an abundant endemic small fish species on the continental shelf of the northern Benguela. The goby habitat is characterised by generally low bottom oxygen concentrations that ...
    • Negative impacts of the sea lice prophylactic emamectin benzoate on the survival of hatchery released salmon smolts in rivers 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Stöger, Elisabeth; Madhun, Abdullah; Helle, Turid Myklebust; Vollset, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Emamectin benzoate (EB) is a prophylactic pharmaceutical used to protect Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts migrating out of rivers and into the ocean against sea lice parasites. Randomized control trials comparing the ...
    • Ontogenetic Change in Behavioral Responses to Structural Enrichment From Fry to Parr in Juvenile Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) 

      Alnes, Ingeborg Bjerkvik; Jensen, Knut Helge; Skorping, Arne; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Enrichment is widely used as a tool for studying how changes in environment affect animal behavior. Here, we report an experimental study investigating if behaviors shaped by stimuli from environmental enrichment depending ...
    • Physical enrichment research for captive fish: Time to focus on the DETAILS 

      Jones, Nick A. R.; Webster, Mike M.; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Growing research effort has shown that physical enrichment (PE) can improve fish welfare and research validity. However, the inclusion of PE does not always result in positive effects and conflicting findings have highlighted ...
    • Size-selective harvesting affects the immunocompetence of guppies exposed to the parasite Gyrodactylus 

      Bartuseviciute, Vitalija; Pauli, Beatriz Diaz; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Heino, Mikko Petteri (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Harvesting is typically size-selective, targeting large individuals. This is expected to lead to reduced average body size and earlier maturation (i.e. faster life histories). Such changes can also affect traits seemingly ...
    • Structure and functioning of four North Atlantic ecosystems - A comparative study 

      Melle, Webjørn Raunsgård; Klevjer, Thor A.; Drinkwater, Kenneth F.; Strand, Espen; Naustvoll, Lars Johan; Wiebe, Peter H.; Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Knutsen, Tor; Sundby, Svein; Slotte, Aril; Dupont, Nicolas; Salvanes, Anne Gro Vea; Korneliussen, Rolf; Huse, Geir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
