The effect of continuous light at low temperatures on growth in Atlantic salmon reared in commercial size sea pens
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of continuous light of different duration, applied from late autumn to spring in the second year of the production cycle, on the production performance of Atlantic salmon ... -
The effect of plant proteins and vegetable oils on the sterol metabolism of Atlantic salmon (salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2011-05-27)To ensure responsible use of the valuable marine ingredients a major effort is being invested in understanding effects of replacing fish meal and fish oil partially or completely with plant proteins and vegetable oils in ... -
Effect of tryptophan enriched diets on aggression in hierarchical groups of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
(Master thesis, 2010-07-01)Aggression in fish hierarchies often leads to one dominant individual monopolizing resources (food/shelter), thus increasing their fitness. Meanwhile individuals in subordinate ranks, endure high stressful conditions, which ... -
An extensive common‐garden study with domesticated and wild Atlantic salmon in the wild reveals impact on smolt production and shifts in fitness traits
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-19)Interactions between domesticated escapees and wild conspecifics represent a threat to the genetic integrity and fitness of native populations. For Atlantic salmon, the recurrent presence of large numbers of domesticated ... -
Implications for introgression: Has selection for fast growth altered the size threshold for precocious male maturation in domesticated Atlantic salmon?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-18)Background: Mature male parr (MMP) represent an important alternative life-history strategy in Atlantic salmon populations. Previous studies indicate that the maturation size threshold for male parr varies among wild ...
