  2. 16. Habitat compensation in nature-like fishways : Effects on benthos and fish

    Author : Stina Gustafsson; Olle Calles; Martin Österling; Jostein Skurdal; Paul Giller; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biocanal; biodiversity; brown trout; freshwater pearl mussel; functional feeding groups; habitat heterogeneity; large woody debris; macroinvertebrates; PIT-tag; salmonids; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : The construction of nature-like fishways has become an increasingly common measure to restore longitudinal connectivity in streams and rivers affected by hydroelectric development. These fishways also have the potential to function as habitat compensation measures when running waters have been degraded or lost. READ MORE

  4. 17. Conservation of landlocked Atlantic salmon in a regulated river : Behaviour of migratory spawners and juveniles

    Author : Anna Hagelin; Eva Bergman; Fleming Ian; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Atlantic salmon; conservation; migration; spawning; hydropower; competition; juveniles; brown trout; hatchery reared; fallback; delay; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Hydropower dams represent one of the major threats to river ecosystems today. The dams block migratory routes in many rivers, which is problematic for migratory fish species. Trap-and-transport may be an alternative to fish passage solutions, as a strategy to compensate for lost river connectivity. READ MORE

  5. 18. Behaviour and metabolic rates of brown trout and Atlantic salmon : Influence of food, environment and social interactions

    Author : Linnea Lans; Larry Greenberg; Eva Bergman; Felicity Huntingford; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Salmo trutta; Salmo salar; behaviour; metabolic rates; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : For Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and brown trout (Salmo trutta), the decision to migrate or when to migrate is believed to be influenced by the individual’s metabolic rate (MR) relative its food intake. As MR was expected to be related to behaviour, the potential links between behaviour and metabolic costs was studied. READ MORE

  6. 19. Reproductive pattern and offspring performance in brown trout (Salmo trutta)

    Author : Hans Olofsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Salmo trutta; spawning; egg size; fry competition; fry dispersion; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with how reproductive traits and reproductive behaviour in femalebrown trout (Salmo trutta) are linked to offspring performance.In the small stream Tullviksbäcken, the choice of spawning sites was stronglyinfluenced by short-term fluctuations in stream flow and by substrate quality.

  7. 20. Catch and effort from a recreational trolling fishery in a large lake

    Author : Anders Andersson; John Piccolo; Larry Greenberg; Ian Cowx; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Angler survey; atlantic salmon; brown trout; complemented survey; Lake Vänern; recreational fisheries; fisheries management; recall bias; Biology; Biologi;

    Abstract : Over recent decades recreational fisheries have grown substantially throughout the world. Despite this increase, catches from recreational fisheries have often been ignored in fisheries management, although this is now being remedied. READ MORE
