• Brown trout (Salmo trutta L. 1758) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L. 1758)) display different marine behaviour and feeding strategies in sympatry 

      Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Halvorsen, Andrine Emilie; Eldøy, Sindre Håvarstein; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Brown trout (Salmo trutta L. 1758) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus (L. 1758)) tagged with acoustic transmitters migrated from freshwater to the sea mainly in May and June, but with large individual variation in migration ...
    • Hydrology influences breeding time in the white‑throated dipper 

      Nilsson, Anna; Skaugen, Thomas; Reitan, Trond; LAbée-Lund, Jan Henning; Gamelon, Marlène; Jerstad, Kurt; Røstad, Ole Wiggo; Slagsvold, Tore; Stenseth, Nils Christian; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Walseng, Bjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: Earlier breeding is one of the strongest responses to global change in birds and is a key factor determining reproductive success. In most studies of climate effects, the focus has been on large-scale environmental ...
    • Long-term variation in numbers and biomass of silver eels being produced in two European river systems 

      Poole, W. Russell; Diserud, Ola Håvard; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Durif, Caroline; Dolan, Conor; Sandlund, Odd Terje; Bergesen, Knut Aanestad; Rogan, Gerard; Kelly, Sean D.; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) population has been in decline at least since the 1960s and reliable regional information, particularly on the spawner production and escapement (i.e. the silver eel life stage), is a ...
    • Low impact of first-time spawners on population growth in a brown trout population 

      Stubberud, Marlene Wæge; Nater, Chloe Rebecca; Vindenes, Yngvild; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Langangen, Øystein Ole Gahr (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      For species with individual variation in reproductive success, experience in breeding and the distribution of different breeders is important for population productivity and viability. Human impacts, such as climate change ...
    • Novel large-scale mapping highlights poor state of sea trout populations 

      Fiske, Peder; Forseth, Torbjørn; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Bakkestuen, Vegar; Einum, Sigurd; Falkegård, Morten; Garmo, Øyvind A.; Garseth, Åse Helen; Skoglund, Helge; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Utne, Kjell Rong; Vollset, Knut; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Wennevik, Vidar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      1. The state of sea trout in 1251 Norwegian watercourses was assessed based on a scoring system for human pressures, abundance data, and local knowledge. 2. Over 16,000 km of rivers and lakes were available to sea trout ...
    • Predation of Atlantic salmon across ontogenetic stages and impacts on populations 

      Falkegård, Morten; Lennox, Robert; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Einum, Sigurd; Fiske, Peder; Garmo, Øyvind Aaberg; Garseth, Åse Helen; Skoglund, Helge; Solberg, Monica Favnebøe; Utne, Kjell Rong; Vollset, Knut; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Wennevik, Vidar; Forseth, Torbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Managers and stakeholders increasingly ask whether predation is a driving force behind the poor status of many species, and whether predator control is likely to be a successful management action to intervene. We review ...
    • Towards a future without stocking: harvest and river regulation determine long-term population viability of migratory salmonids 

      Nater, Chloe Rebecca; Stubberud, Marlene Wæge; Langangen, Øystein Ole Gahr; Rustadbakken, Atle; Moe, S. Jannicke; Ergon, Torbjørn; Vøllestad, Leif Asbjørn; Vindenes, Yngvild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Freshwater species are particularly vulnerable to emerging threats linked to climate change because they are often already heavily impacted by habitat destruction, pollution, and exploitation. For many harvested populations ...
