• Depth use of adult Atlantic salmon during the first and last phase of the marine migration 

      Kjellman, Mari (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-15)
      The Atlantic salmon has declined in numbers over the last decades. Given the species’ anadromous nature, management is a challenge, and information is lacking, especially from the marine migratory phase. Information about repeat spawners and their migratory behaviour may be of major importance in management questions, as these individuals have been found to contribute significantly to spawning ...

      Hedger, Richard David; Kjellman, Mari; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Strøm, John Fredrik; Rikardsen, Audun H. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-23)

In addition, the stomach contents of 909 returning adults caught ...
