1. Migration and quality of landlocked Atlantic salmon smolt : Implications for conservation and management
Abstract : Atlantic salmon Salmo salar has a complex life cycle, including long migrations and habitat shifts for both juveniles and adults. As such, salmon populations are vulnerable to habitat degradation and fragmentation along their migratory routes. READ MORE

3. Environmental influences on the behavioural ecology of juvenile salmonids – the importance of rearing density
Abstract : Background and aims: Early environmental conditions are known to influence the phenotypic development of animals, including behavioural alterations. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of density, social stability and structural complexity on growth, behaviour, and survival in the wild, using juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) as model species.

4. Three-dimensional numerical modelling for studying smolt migration in regulated rivers
Abstract : This licentiate thesis considers the numerical modelling of natural river flow for studying the importance of hydraulics on the outmigration of juvenile salmon and trout (smolt). The construction of power plants and dams in Swedish rivers has led to disturbances in the migration of the fish. READ MORE

5. Temporal dynamics of brain and hormone changes during parr-smolt transformation in salmon
Abstract : This thesis describes a series of studies designed to elucidate brain circuitry changes during parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) in salmon. The studies revealed sequential orderly chemical and structural changes of the brain. READ MORE
