      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. ...
    • Marine migration and habitat use of anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta 

      Eldøy, Sindre Håvarstein; Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Whoriskey, F.; Aarestrup, K.; Næsje, Tor; Rønning, Lars; Sjursen, Aslak Darre; Rikardsen, Audun H.; Arnekleiv, Jo Vegar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-22)
      The biology and ecology of anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta at sea is poorly understood. This study provided information on spatial and temporal distribution of sea trout in the ocean. The behaviour of 115 individuals (veteran migrants, 270-700 mm) was tracked by using acoustic telemetry in a fjord system during April-September in 2012-2013. Overall, fish spent 68% of their marine residence ...
    • Marine trophic niche-use and life history diversity among Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus in southwestern Greenland

      Life history strategies and potential marine niche use of Arctic charr <i>Salvelinus alpinus</i> (<i>n</i> = 237, 84–652 mm, total body length, <i>L<sub>T</sub></i>) were determined during the ice‐free season (2012) at three different watercourses in south‐western Greenland. All Arctic charr were collected from freshwater habitats. Based on stable isotopes of δ<sup>34</sup>S, the Arctic charr were ...
    • Migration and habitat use of the landlocked riverine Atlantic salmon Salmo salar småblank 

      Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Eikås, Linda; Hedger, Richard David; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Rønning, Lars; Sjursen, Aslak Darre; Berg, Ole Kristian; Bremset, Gunnbjørn; Karlsson, Sten; Sundt-Hansen, Line Elisabeth Breivik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-18)
      “Småblank” is the only population of Atlantic salmon in Europe living its entire life in the river habitat without performing migrations to the sea or lakes. Home range size and habitat use were compared between an unregulated tributary and hydro-power regulated parts of the main river during 2014–2017. In total, 140 småblank were tagged with radio transmitters and tracked for 4–5 months. Tagged ...
    • Trophic niche similarity among sea trout Salmo trutta in Central Norway investigated using different time-integrated trophic tracers 

      Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Knudsen, Rune; Power, Michael; Sjursen, Aslak Darre; Rønning, Lars; Hårsaker, Karstein; Næsje, Tor; Arnekleiv, Jo Vegar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-21)
      From 2011 to 2013, anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta (213−730 mm, total body length, LT) were collected during or shortly after their marine feeding migration at 7 different localities in central Norway. The mean volume of stomach content (%) of marine fish prey eaten by S. trutta captured in marine waters varied from 34 to 89%. There was a high prevalence (67−100%) for parasite groups potentially ...
