Description: SeaSalar
Atlantic salmon is a well-studied species, but there are still mysteries of where they reside in the ocean and what impacts their marine survival. ATLANTIC SALMON AT SEA - factors affecting their growth and survival (SeaSalar) is a research program where research institutions join forces to increase the knowledge on Norwegian salmon at sea.
How expected increased ocean temperatures associated with climate change may impact marine food consumption and energetics of adult salmon has been explored in a new study.
The diet of nearly six hundred salmon post-smolt caught in Norwegian fjords was analysed in a new study. Already at that early stage of the marine migration, it is important for the salmon to find fish larvae to feed on.
