      Lennox, Robert J.; Uglem, Ingebrigt; Cooke, Steven J.; Næsje, Tor; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Havn, Torgeir Børresen; Ulvan, Eva Marita; Solem, Øyvind; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      To reproduce, Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar return to freshwater rivers and migrate upriver to spawning areas. This migration is the basis for recreational fisheries, which for conservation reasons are increasingly characterized ...
    • European eel Anguilla anguilla compromise speed for safety in the early marine spawning migration 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Økland, Finn; Mitamura, Hiromichi; Cooke, Steven J.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      There are substantial benefits to potential fitness conferred to animals that undertake migrations. However, animals must make compromises to maximize survival and compensate for the risks associated with long-distance ...
    • Influence of gear switching on recapture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in catch-and- release fisheries 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Cooke, Steven J.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Solem, Øyvind; Havn, Torgeir Børresen; Uglem, Ingebrigt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Anglers that release Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in recreational fisheries do so with the intention that the fish will survive and contribute to succeeding generations. In some instances, salmon that are released may be ...
    • Mortality of Atlantic salmon after catch and release angling: assessment of a recreational Atlantic salmon fishery in a changing climate 

      Van Leeuwen, Travis E.; Dempson, J. Brian; Burke, Chantelle M.; Kelly, Nicholas I.; Robertson, Martha J.; Lennox, Robert J.; Havn, Torgeir Børresen; Svenning, Martin; Hinks, Ross; Guzzo, Matthew M.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Purchase, Craig F.; Bates, Amanda E. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Human activities have the potential to accelerate population-level decline by contributing to climate warming and decreasing the capacity of species to survive warming temperatures. Here we build a predictive model to test ...
    • One Hundred Pressing Questions on the Future of Global Fish Migration Science, Conservation, and Policy 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Paukert, Craig P.; Aarestrup, Kim; Auger-Méthé, Marie; Baumgartner, Lee; Birnie-Gauvin, Kim; Bøe, Kristin; Brink, Kerry; Brownscombe, Jacob W.; Chen, Yushun; Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Eliason, Erika J.; Filous, Alexander; Gillanders, Bronwyn M.; Helland, Ingeborg Palm; Horodysky, Andrij Z.; Januchowski-Hartley, Stephanie R.; Lowerre-Barbieri, Susan K.; Lucas, Martyn C.; Martins, Eduardo G.; Murchie, Karen J.; Pompeu, Paulo S.; Power, Michael; Raghavan, Rajeev; Rahel, Frank J.; Secor, David; Thiem, Jason D.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Ueda, Hiroshi; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Cooke, Steven J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Migration is a widespread but highly diverse component of many animal life histories. Fish migrate throughout the world’s oceans, within lakes and rivers, and between the two realms, transporting matter, energy, and other ...
    • Predation research with electronic tagging 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Dahlmo, Lotte Svengård; Ford, Adam T.; Sortland, Lene K.; Vogel, Emma; Vollset, Knut Wiik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Predation is a fundamental aspect of ecology that drives ecosystem structure and function. A better understanding of predation can be facilitated by using electronic tags that log or transmit positions of predator or prey ...
    • Systematic review and meta-analysis of PIT tagging effects on mortality and growth of juvenile salmonids 

      Vollset, Knut; Lennox, Robert J.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Auer, Samuel; Bär, Kerstin; Larsen, Martin H.; Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Näslund, Joacim; Stryhn, Henrik; Dohoo, Ian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
