  2. 1. Migration in anadromous brown trout

    Author : David Aldvén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Downstream migration; Temperature; Discharge; Genetics; Growth rate; Climate change; Salmo trutta; Salmo salar; Sea trout; Salmon; Biology; Ecology;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the anadromous migration of brown trout (Salmo trutta) with the overall aim to improve stock management within the region. Several field studies were conducted in different streams and coastal areas on the west coast of Sweden specifically aimed to evaluate environmental triggers for migration (Paper I), migration pathways and strategies (Paper III and IV) as well as the genetic differentiation of anadromous populations of brown trout (Paper V).

  4. 2. Anadromous Pike in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Olof Engstedt; Per Larsson; Henrik Svedäng; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; Natural Science; Naturvetenskap;

    Abstract : The pike (Esox lucius) is a major predator and top-down regulator in the Baltic Sea where it exists in two sympatric forms. One spawn in streams and rivers and the other one spawn in the sea. During the last decades, the habitats for both of these forms have developed in a negative way. READ MORE

  6. 4. Size-dependent predator-prey interactions, distribution and mortality in salmon: effects on individuals and populations

    Author : Philip Jacobson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The biomass dynamics of populations is largely determined by the survival, growth, and reproduction of individuals. For fish and other animals, survival, growth, and reproduction depends on the amount of energy an individual obtains via feeding and are therefore food-dependent. READ MORE

  7. 5. Gonad and ejaculate allocation in alternative reproductive tactics of salmon and trout with reference to sperm competition

    Author : Tomislav Vladić; Michael Taborsky; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; alternative reproductive tactics; sperm competition; brown trout; Atlantic salmon; ATP; ejaculate expenditure; motility; sperm morphology; trade-off; loaded raffle; zoologi; Zoology;

    Abstract : Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., and brown trout, Salmo trutta L., exhibit alternative male maturation phenotypes, anadromous and precociously mature parr, which commonly endure in sperm competition at the spawning grounds. READ MORE
