• Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon grow, migrate and disperse throughout the Arctic Ocean like wild salmon 

      Jensen, Arne Johan; Karlsson, Sten; Fiske, Peder; Hansen, Lars Petter; Hindar, Kjetil; Østborg, Gunnel Marie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      This paper describes the first observations of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the Arctic Ocean. Among 138 individuals of Atlantic salmon captured at the west coast of the Spitsbergen Island at Svalbard in ...
    • Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon in Norwegian rivers during 1989–2013 

      Diserud, Ola Håvard; Fiske, Peder; Sægrov, Harald; Urdal, K.; Aronsen, Tonje; Lo, Håvard; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Niemela, Eero; Orell, P.; Erkinaro, J.; Lund, Roar A.; Økland, Finn; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Hansen, Lars Petter; Hindar, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We report on the data from an extensive monitoring programme for the occurrence of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in Norwegian rivers for 25 years. This monitoring started as a 3-year research programme in ...
    • Introgression from farmed escapees affects the full life cycle of wild Atlantic salmon 

      Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Karlsson, Sten; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Fiske, Peder; Urdal, Kurt; Sægrov, Harald; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Sollien, Vegard Pedersen; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Jensen, Arne Johan; Hindar, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      After a half a century of salmon farming, we have yet to understand how the influx of genes from farmed escapees affects the full life history of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in the wild. Using scale samples of over ...
    • Iteroparity and its contribution to life-history variation in Atlantic salmon 

      Persson, Lo; Raunsgard, Astrid; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Urdal, Kurt; Sægrov, Harald; Ugedal, Ola; Hindar, Kjetil; Karlsson, Sten; Fiske, Peder; Bolstad, Geir Hysing (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Evolution of iteroparity is shaped by the trade-off between current and future reproduction.We studied variation in iteroparity among 205 050 individual Atlantic salmon caught in 179 rivers spanning 14◦ of latitude. The ...
    • Natural and anthropogenic drivers of escaped farmed salmon occurrence and introgression into wild Norwegian Atlantic salmon populations 

      Diserud, Ola Håvard; Fiske, Peder; Karlsson, Sten; Glover, Kevin Alan; Næsje, Tor; Aronsen, Tonje; Bakke, Gunnar O; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Erkinaro, J.; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Foldvik, Anders; Heino, Mikko Petteri; Kanstad-Hanssen, Øyvind; Lo, Håvard; Lund, Roar Asbjørn; Muladal, R.; Niemela, E.; Økland, Finn; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Otterå, Håkon Magne; Skaala, Øystein; Skoglund, Helge; Solberg, Ingrid; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Sollien, Vegard Pedersen; Sægrov, Harald; Urdal, Kurt; Wennevik, Vidar; Hindar, Kjetil (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Marine aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a relatively new industry where breeding programs have led to rapid genetic change in the captive populations that were built up alongside conspecific wild individuals. ...
