Growth and Smolting in Anadromous Brown Trout (Salmo Trutta) from Lærdalselva: Responses to Hydropower and Gyrodactylus Salaris Growth and smolting in anadromous brown trout (Salmo trutta) from Lærdalselva: Responses to hydropower and Gyrodactylus salaris Figure 1: Anadromous brown trout in Lærdalselva. Foto: Torstein Kristensen Preface This master thesis was written for the Department of Ecology and Natural Resource Management at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). The study was carried out in collaboration with NIVA (Norwegian Institute for Water Research) and the KUSTUS project. This project objective is to survey and increase the knowledge base on salmonoids in Sognefjorden, and is financed by both public sector and private companies. Human induced environmental amendments, and the following effect on wild salmonid populations is highly relevant. I hope my study can contribute by increasing our understanding of these complex systems, and be a fresh breath of air in the further management of the anadromous brown trout population of Lærdalselva and Sognefjorden. Unless otherwise mentioned, all fotos are taken by me. I would like to take the opportunity to thank my supervisor Thrond O. Haugen for his excellent mood, statistics-skills and good help. I also want to thank my co supervisors Torstein Kristensen for good discussions and input, and Bjørn Olav Rosseland for providing me scales. Atle Rustadbakken and Reidar Borgstrøm also deserves a thank for evaluation my scale readings, and good discussions around scale reading theory. NIVA and KUSTUS-people Henning A. Urke and Morten Bergan for skilfully and educational guiding me through fieldwork in the deep valleys of Lærdal. Håvard Lo, from the veterinary institute in Trondheim, for providing me scales. My parents also deserves a thanks for just being there, calling me every Sunday for five years. And last but not least my girlfriend Marte, the “breakfast-club”, and all my fellow students and good friends at Ås for bringing joy and happiness into my university life!

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS .................................. 43 6. REFERENCES ................................................................................................................................ 46 III IV Abstract Lærdalselva has faced many environmental alterations caused by anthropogenic activity over the last four decades. This study has categorized these into four different treatment periods: “Before hydropower ” (1954-1974), “After hydropower” (1974-1996), “Hydropower, Gyrodactylus salaris and Gyrodactylus salaris treatments” (1996-2011) and “present times” (2012-2014). The objective of this study was to determine if these treatment periods have imposed growth alternations and altered age- and size at smolting in the anadromous brown trout population (Salmo trutta L.) of Lærdalselva. These objectives were analyses using scale analyses of scales sampled from all treatment periods. From the scale readings, freshwater- and sea age as well as age at smolting were determined at individual level along with back-calculated sizes at all ages. These size-at-age and smolting trajectory data were subjected to statistical analyses designed for elucidating the research objectives. There were no significant differences in May-October mean water temperature among treatment periods. The May-October mean water discharge has changed significantly among treatment periods, with less water discharge after hydropower. Back-calculated length at first year was significant reduced after launching hydropower compared to the preceding period. Back-calculated specific growth rate during second year in freshwater, showed no evidence of treatment period effect. There was a positive correlation between summer low-water discharge and second-year specific growth rate. There has been a significant shift in smolt reaction norms (SRN) where the anadromous brown trout during the hydropower period delayed smolting by almost a year and larger size than during the preceding period. During the more recent periods, the SRN has gradually shifted towards the original pattern. The marine growth has changed significantly among the treatment periods. First sea year back-calculated specific growth rate has significantly declined during the period after hydropower compared to the preceding period. However, Second-sea- year back-calculated

  • Bremnes Seashore Joins Salmon Group
    Press release 2020-10-26 Bremnes Seashore joins Salmon Group SALMA producer Bremnes Seashore today enters as shareholder in Salmon Group, a network of 41 fish farmers who emphasize local ownership and interaction with the local communities. Through the ownership, Bremnes Seashore also takes part in Salmon Group's innovative feed collaboration. - Salmon Group is very pleased to welcome a company who has such a good eye for the important drivers. Through a long period of conversations and discussion on important matters for us both, we are now well acquainted to each other. We are very confident that Bremnes Seashore is an aquaculture farmer who will fit well in our network, says Jan Olav Langeland, CEO of Salmon Group. - We have a common set of values with the other owners in Salmon Group, a group of salmon and trout farmers who are at the forefront of the development of sustainable farming. All companies will contribute to activity and jobs in the local communities along the coast. This makes us a good fit with the network, says Einar Eide, CEO of Bremnes Seashore. Common sustainability philosophy In recent years, Salmon Group has distinguished itself with its systematic and concrete work on sustainability. Based on their feasibility study "Sustainable farming of salmon and trout - What is that?", the network has been able to make specific adjustments of its own feed recipe. The changes are specific and have so far resulted in a 36% reduction in the carbon footprint from the production of salmon and trout that are fed with SG feed. - Salmon Group has taken major steps to reduce the footprint from feed production and transport and set the standard for sustainable feed for the aquaculture industry.

    Day surgery in Norway 2013–2017 A selection of procedures December 2018 Helseatlas SKDE report Num. 3/2018 Authors Bård Uleberg, Sivert Mathisen, Janice Shu, Lise Balteskard, Arnfinn Hykkerud Steindal, Hanne Sigrun Byhring, Linda Leivseth and Olav Helge Førde Editor Barthold Vonen Awarding authority Ministry of Health and Care Services, and Northern Norway Regional Health Authority Date (Norwegian version) November 2018 Date (English version) December 2018 Translation Allegro (Anneli Olsbø) Version December 18, 2018 Front page photo: Colourbox ISBN: 978-82-93141-35-8 All rights SKDE. Foreword The publication of this updated day surgery atlas is an important event for several reasons. The term day surgery covers health services characterised by different issues and drivers. While ‘necessary care’ is characterised by consensus about indications and treatment and makes up about 15% of the health services, ‘preference-driven care’ is based more on the preferences of the treatment providers and/or patients. The preference-driven services account for about 25% of health services. The final and biggest group, which includes about 60% of all health services, is often called supply-driven and can be described as ‘supply creating its own demand’. Day surgery is a small part of the public health service in terms of resource use. However, it is a service that can be used to treat more and more conditions, and it is therefore becoming increasingly important for both clinical and resource reasons. How day surgery is prioritised and delivered is very important to patient treatment and to the legitimacy of the public health service. Information about how this health service is distributed in the population therefore serves as an important indicator of whether we are doing our job and whether the regional health authorities are fulfilling their responsibility to provide healthcare to their region’s population.
