Prediction of size-dependent risk of salmon smolt (Salmo salar) escape through fish farm nets
Abstract The escape of small smolt through farm cage netting is a major challenge faced by the Norwegian salmon farming industry. Escape can occur when the smolt placed in the cages are smaller than the size estimated by the farmers. Furthermore, one may assume wrong mesh-properties as the cage netting change shape and/or state from stiff (mesh bars ...

AbstractThe introduction of salmonids in Patagonia has resulted in significant impacts on its lakes, as well as a major impact on streams, in which native fishes seem to have been displaced almost completely by rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Another perspective is that the introduced salmonid species have resulted in wild fish populations that ...

Impacts of wild fishes attracted to open-cage salmonid farms in Norway
Salmonid farming affects both the environment and other industries, with impacts of wild fish attracted to fish farms being a major concern. Here, we summarized existing knowledge on the impacts of such aggregations around open-cage salmonid farms in ...

According to the NFSA, farmed fish escaping from sea-cage aquaculture may constitute serious environmental damage, foremost by interbreeding with wild fish. Governmental management is aiming at preventing the escape of farmed fish and to remove escapees.

Risks to stocks of native trout of the genus Salmo (Actinopterygii: Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) of Serbia and management for their recovery [PDF]
Background. Insufficiently controlled stocking compromises the high diversity of wild trout stocks of Serbia. Native brown trout, Salmo cf. trutta Linnaeus, 1758, and Macedonian trout, Salmo macedonicus (Karaman, 1924), reveal remarkable diversity ...

Siblingship tests connect two seemingly independent farmed Atlantic salmon escape events
Aquaculture escapees represent a threat to the genetic integrity of native populations, may spread infectious agents and display ecological interactions with wild fish.

A pan-European valuation of the extent, causes and cost of escape events from sea cage fish farming
AbstractAs part of an EU funded 7th Framework project, Prevent Escape, a programme of research was undertaken to document the extent, size and knowledge of the causes of escapes from marine fin fish farms in Europe over a three year period. Escape incidents were identified and assessed through questionnaires across the 6 countries (Ireland, UK, Norway,

Genetic analysis of Atlantic salmon captured in a netting station reveals multiple escapement events from commercial fish farms [PDF]
AbstractMicrosatellite DNA analysis and statistical assignment methods were implemented to identify the origin of 190 farmed escaped Atlantic salmon recaptured over a period of 2 months at a netting station located in Trondheim fjord, Norway. Samples were also collected from farms within the region. The escapees originated from a minimum of two sources,

Adult recaptures of farmed Atlantic salmon post-smolts allowed to escape during summer [PDF]
The influence of time of escape on survival to adulthood was tested in farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolt and post-smolts. Escape events were simulated in a small fjord in western Norway during and after the natural period of smolt migration by ...

Genetic screening of farmed Atlantic salmon escapees demonstrates that triploid fish display reduced migration to freshwater [PDF]
Each year, hundreds of thousands of farmed Atlantic salmon escape from fish farms into the wild. Some of these escapees enter freshwater, and manage to interbreed with native populations. To hinder further genetic introgression in native populations, the
