      Lennox, Robert; Alexandre, Carlos M; Almeida, Pedro R; Bailey, Kevin M.; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Bøe, Kristin; breukelaar, Andre; Erkinaro, Jaakko; Forseth, Torbjørn; Gabrielsen, Sven-Erik; Halfyard, Edmund; Hanssen, Erlend Mjelde; Karlsson, Sten; Koch, Stephanie; Koed, Anders; Langåker, Roy, M; Lo, Håvard; Lucas, Martyn C.; Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Perrier, Charles; Pulg, Ulrich; Sheehan, Timothy F.; Skoglund, Helge; Svenning, Martin; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Velle, Gaute; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north Atlantic and it is therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes to address and mitigate threats and correct ...
    • Rapid evolution of genetic and phenotypic divergence in Atlantic salmon following the colonisation of two new branches of a watercourse 

      Jensen, Arne Johan; Hansen, Lars Petter; Johnsen, Bjørn Ove; Karlsson, Sten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background: Selection acts strongly on individuals that colonise a habitat and have phenotypic traits that deviate from the local optima. Our objective was to investigate the evolutionary rates in Atlantic salmon (Salmo ...
    • Reetablering av laks i Storåna i Bjerkreimsvassdraget 

      Sundt-Hansen, Line Elisabeth Breivik; Karlsson, Sten; Johnsen, Bjørn Ove (NINA Rapport;954, Research report, 2013)
      Laksepopulasjonen i Bjerkreimsvassdraget har etter at kalking av deler av vassdraget ble star-tet opp i 1996 hatt en svært positiv utvikling, med økt ungfiskoverlevelse og også økte fangster. Storåna i Bjerkreimsvassdraget ...
