Har du noen gang oppdaget små «lus» på fisken du har fått i innsjøen, og har du kanskje lurt på hva de egentlig er? Kanskje tenkte du at det kunne være lakselus – eller så kan det hende at du faktisk ...

Invasive pink Salmon have spread throughout the Great Lakes, and climate change and warming waters are contributing to the fish's spread

New NOAA-led research on the history of the rise of pink salmon in the Great Lakes may help fishery managers and communities on the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans tackle the recent rapid growth of t...

Introductions of species outside their native range, such as pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Laurentian Great Lakes, can serve as unplanned experiments that provide new insights into ecol....

Population recovery is a key goal for conservation, but our understanding of how genetic and phenotypic variation, including local adaptation, emerges in recently recolonised or recovering systems is ...

NoWPaS (International formerly Nordic Workshop for PhD and Post-Doctoral fellows on Anadromous Salmonid research) is an annual workshop, which aims to build and maintain an international network of ea...

Job title: Associate Professor in molecular/cellular animal physiology (281754), Employer: NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Deadline: Monday, September 1, 2025

The role of pathogens in impacting the behaviour and fate of salmonids has been studied extensively for some selected pathogens such as sea lice. However, the whole pathobiome of the fish are seldom ...

Located within the Westfjords of Iceland, the fine-scale depth distribution of juvenile 0-group gadoids was surveyed in nearshore nursery habitats using beach seine and dive survey methods. The beach....

Scientists at the Newport based research facility have had great success breeding juvenile freshwater pearl mussels

The decline of the salmon continues. Norwegian salmon populations are at a historically low level, and the number of salmon returning from the sea to Norway in 2024 hit an all-time low. In fact, three...

This study evaluates the relative importance of Submersed Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) and filamentous mats in shaping epifaunal invertebrate communities in the central Baltic Sea. Our results showed tha....

eDNA surveys were conducted in 27 river systems in south-western Sweden in 2023 to detect adult spawning pink salmon. Results indicated, through mainly qPCR methods, the presence of pink salmon at 24...

Drastic declines in abundance of Atlantic salmon have been attributed to ecosystem change at sea reducing growth in body size, which in turn could impact survival because mortality at sea may be size-...
