• Selection against individuals from genetic introgression of escaped farmed salmon in a natural population of Atlantic salmon 

      Wacker, Sebastian; Aronsen, Tonje; Karlsson, Sten; Ugedal, Ola; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Ulvan, Eva Marita; Hindar, Kjetil; Næsje, Tor (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The viability of wild Atlantic salmon populations is threatened by genetic introgression from escaped farmed salmon. Farmed Atlantic salmon are genetically improved for important commercial traits and a life in captivity ...
    • Statistical and ecological challenges of monitoring parasitic salmon lice infestations in wild salmonid fish stocks 

      Helland, Ingeborg Palm; Uglem, Ingebrigt; Jansen, Peder A; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Bjørn, Pål Arne; Finstad, Bengt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Ecological monitoring programmes should provide precise data to inform management, but the data quality is often limited by methodological challenges and the need for cost-effective sampling. Parasite infestations are ...
    • Supplementary stocking selects for domesticated genotypes 

      Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Jensen, Arne Johan; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Hindar, Kjetil; Lo, Håvard; Karlsson, Sten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Stocking of hatchery produced fish is common practise to mitigate declines in natural populations and may have unwanted genetic consequences. Here we describe a novel phenomenon arising where broodstock used for stocking ...
    • The risk of individual fish being captured multiple times in a catch and release fishery 

      Thorstad, Eva B.; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Solem, Øyvind; Havn, Torgeir Børresen; Bjørum, Lars Rasmus Oftedal; Kristensen, Torstein; Urke, Henning Andre; Johansen, Martin Rognli; Lennox, Robert J.; Fiske, Peder; Uglem, Ingebrigt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The proportion of angled Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. being caught and released has increased. If individuals are repeatedly captured, this may have fish welfare consequences. Of 995 Atlantic salmon tagged during catch ...
    • Timing and pattern of annual silver eel migration in two European watersheds are determined by similar cues 

      Sandlund, Odd Terje; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Poole, Russell; Bergesen, Knut Aanestad; Dillane, Mary; Rogan, Gerard; Durif, Caroline; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Many animals perform long-distance migrations in order to maximize lifetime reproductive success. The European eel migrates several thousand kilometers between their feeding habitats in continental waters (fresh-,brackish, ...
    • Use of simulation approaches to evaluate the consequences of catch-and-release angling on the migration behaviour of adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) 

      Lennox, Robert J.; Cooke, Steven J.; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Havn, Torgeir Børresen; Johansen, Martin R.; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Uglem, Ingebrigt (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Given most Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) released by anglers survive (proportion = 0.97 in this study), eco-nomically and culturally important recreational Atlantic salmon fisheries are increasingly incorporatingcatch-and-release. ...
    • Why do we find dead bumblebees under linden trees? 

      Vinnes, Malene Kyrkjebø; Haugen, Inger Marie Aalberg; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Ødegaard, Frode; Gjershaug, Jan Ove (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      1. Linden trees (Tilia spp.) have for a long time been associated with bumblebee (Bombus spp.) mortality in Europe and North America. Several explanations have been suggested for this phenomenon. This study aimed to explore ...
