      Vollset, Knut; Urdal, Kurt; Utne, Kjell Rong; Thorstad, Eva Bonsak; Sægrov, Harald; Raunsgard, Astrid; Skagseth, Øystein; Lennox, Robert; Østborg, Gunnel Marie; Ugedal, Ola; Jensen, Arne Johan; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Fiske, Peder (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Ecological regime shifts are abrupt changes in the structure and function of ecosystems that persist over time, but evidence of contemporary regime shifts are rare. Historical scale data from 52,384 individual wild Atlantic ...
    • Natural and anthropogenic drivers of escaped farmed salmon occurrence and introgression into wild Norwegian Atlantic salmon populations

      Marine aquaculture of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a relatively new industry where breeding programs have led to rapid genetic change in the captive populations that were built up alongside conspecific wild individuals. ...
    • Swimming with the fishes: validating drift diving to identify farmed Atlantic salmon escapees in the wild 

      Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Skoglund, Helge; Wiers, Tore; Norman, E. S.; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Wennevik, Vidar; Glover, Kevin; Urdal, Kurt; Bakke, Gunnar O; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar interbreeding with wild conspecifics represents a threat to the genetic integrity and viability of wild populations. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately quantify escapees in ...
