      Eldøy, Sindre Håvarstein; Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Whoriskey, Frederick G.; Aarestrup, Kim; Næsje, Tor; Rønning, Lars; Sjursen, Aslak Darre; Rikardsen, Audun H.; Arnekleiv, Jo Vegar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-15)
      The vertical behaviour of 44 veteran sea trout <i>Salmo trutta</i> (275–580 mm) in different marine fjord habitats (estuary, pelagic, near shore with and without steep cliffs) was documented during May–February by acoustic telemetry. The swimming depth of <i>S. trutta</i> was influenced by habitat, time of day (day v. night), season, seawater temperature and the body length at the time of tagging. ...
    • Ocean predation and mortality of adult Atlantic salmon 

      Strøm, John Fredrik; Rikardsen, Audun H.; Campana, Steven E.; Righton, David; Carr, Jonathan; Aarestrup, Kim; Stokesbury, Michael J.W.; Gargan, Patrick G.; Caballero Javierre, Pablo; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-27)
      Predation and mortality are often difficult to estimate in the ocean, which hampers the management and conservation of marine fishes. <br>We used data from pop-up satellite archival tags to investigate the ocean predation and mortality of adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) released from 12 rivers flowing into the North Atlantic Ocean. Data from 156 tagged fish revealed 22 definite predation ...

    • Redefining the oceanic distribution of Atlantic salmon 

      Rikardsen, Audun H.; Righton, David; Strøm, John Fredrik; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Gargan, Patrick G.; Sheehan, Timothy F.; Økland, Finn; Chittenden, Cedar; Hedger, Richard David; Næsje, Tor; Renkawitz, Mark; Sturlaugsson, Johannes; Caballero, Pablo; Baktoft, Henrik; Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Halttunen, Elina; Wright, Serena; Finstad, Bengt; Aarestrup, Kim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-10)
      Determining the mechanisms driving range-wide reductions in Atlantic salmon marine survival is hindered by an insufcient understanding of their oceanic ecology and distribution. We attached 204 pop-up satellite archival tags to post-spawned salmon when they migrated to the ocean from seven European areas and maiden North American salmon captured at sea at West Greenland. Individuals migrated ...
