• Evaluation of genetic effects on wild salmon populations from stock enhancement 

      Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Ugedal, Ola; Jensen, Arne Johan; Lo, Håvard; Holthe, Espen; Bjøru, Bjørn; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Sægrov, Harald; Skoglund, Helge; Karlsson, Sten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Many salmonid populations are of conservation concern, and the release of hatchery-produced juveniles is a frequently used measure to alleviate declines and increase harvest opportunities. While such releases may be of ...
    • Gene flow from domesticated escapes alters thelife history of wild Atlantic salmon 

      Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Hindar, Kjetil; Robertsen, Grethe; Jonsson, Bror; Sægrov, Harald; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Fiske, Peder; Jensen, Arne Johan; Urdal, Kurt; Næsje, Tor; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Lo, Håvard; Niemela, Eero; Karlsson, Sten (Journal article, 2017)
      Interbreeding between domesticated and wild animals occurs in several species. This gene flow has long been anticipated to induce genetic changes in life-history traits of wild populations, thereby influencing population ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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. ...
    • The structural variation landscape in 492 Atlantic salmon genomes 

      Bertolotti, Alicia C.; Layer, Ryan M.; Gundappa, Manu Kumar; Gallagher, Michael D.; Pehlivanoglu, Ege; Nome, Torfinn; Robledo, Diego; Kent, Matthew Peter; Røsæg, Line Lieblein; Holen, Matilde Mengkrog; Mulugeta, Teshome Dagne; Ashton, Thomas J.; Hindar, Kjetil; Sægrov, Harald; Florø-Larsen, Bjørn; Erkinaro, Jaakko; Primmer, Craig R.; Bernatchez, Louis; Martin, Samuel A.M.; Johnston, Ian A.; Sandve, Simen Rød; Lien, Sigbjørn; Macqueen, Daniel J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Structural variants (SVs) are a major source of genetic and phenotypic variation, but remain challenging to accurately type and are hence poorly characterized in most species. We present an approach for reliable SV discovery ...
