      Chittenden, Cedar; Rikardsen, Audun H.; Skilbrei, Ove Tommy; Davidsen, Jan Grimsrud; Halttunen, Elina; Skardhamar, Jofrid; McKinley, R. Scott (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      ABSTRACT: The search for effective strategies to prevent and mitigate accidental releases of aquaculture fishes is on-going. To test a new recapture strategy and evaluate the individual dispersal behaviour of escaped farmed ...
    • Impacts of parasites on marine survival of Atlantic salmon: a meta-analysis 

      Vollset, Knut Wiik; Krontveit, Randi Ingebjørg; Jansen, Peder A; Finstad, Bengt; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Skilbrei, Ove Tommy; Krkošek, Martin; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Aunsmo, Arnfinn; Jensen, Arne Johan; Dohoo, Ian (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Parasites can, in theory, have large impacts on the survival of fish populations. One method to evaluate such impacts on anadromous species is to apply manipulative field experiments in which parallel groups of antiparasitically ...
    • Timing is everything: Survival of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar postsmolts during events of high salmon lice densities 

      Bøhn, Thomas; Gjelland, Karl Øystein; Serra Llinares, Rosa Maria; Finstad, Bengt; Primicerio, Raul; Nilsen, Rune; Karlsen, Ørjan; Sandvik, Anne Dagrun; Skilbrei, Ove Tommy; Elvik, Kristine Marit Schrøder; Skaala, Øystein; Bjørn, Pål Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Atlantic salmon in aquaculture act as reservoir hosts and vectors of parasites like salmon lice and this parasite is shown to harm wild salmonid populations. In this study, n = 29,817 tagged Atlantic salmon were studied ...
    • Use of fatty acid profiles to monitor the escapehistory of farmed Atlantic salmon 

      Skilbrei, Ove Tommy; Normann, Eirik; Meier, Sonnich; Olsen, Rolf Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Farmed Atlantic salmon can escape from fish farms at various stages of their life, from juveniles to large mature fish. Escapees that enter rivers to spawn pose a threat to the genetic integrity of wild populations. ...
