International Workshop of PhDs and Post-doctoral Fellows on Anadromous Salmonids

Every trout in the Norwegian mountains got there because someone carried it.

Scientists have discovered a growing number of emaciated lake trout deep in Lake Superior, about half their normal body weight. They’re racing to learn what’s behind the phenomenon.

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...

Abstract. Predator and prey communities are important putative drivers of phenotypic variation in consumers. However, in natural food webs, we often lack a

Defining appropriate conservation units is crucial to the protection and management of biodiversity. These delineations deliver further benefit when they encompass assessments of population vulnerabil...

A new collaborative research paper using information from the Atlantic Salmon Trust’s Moray Firth Tracking Project has identified a link between wild salmon genetics and smolt migration success – the ...

Background For many aquatic taxa, juvenile dispersal from spawning locations to rearing habitats is a critical process influencing individual fitness and population dynamics. However, our understandin...

From Togiak National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska comes this story of a gluttonous, mammal-eating rainbow trout. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

A workflow for developing a cost- and time-efficient, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based assay for species and hybrid identification is described. In a reference set (n = 46), the developed a....

Controlled experiments have shown that northern pike (Esox lucius) is able to develop lure avoidance, but whether such patterns exist in the wild is unknown. We assessed the impact of recreational fi...

A binational group of fisheries experts made the declaration Wednesday, after seven decades of effort to recover the fish from a collapse caused by invasive species and overfishing.
