    Incidence and impacts of escaped farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in nature 2008

    This report was commissioned by the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue. The Salmon Dialogue is a multi-stakeholder, multi-national group which was initiated by the World Wildlife Fund in 2004. Participants include salmon producers and other members of the market chain, NGOs, researchers, retailers, and government officials from major salmon producing and consuming countries. The goal of the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue is to develop and implement verifiable environmental and social performan ce levels that measurably reduce or eliminate key impacts of salmon farming and are acceptable to stakeholders. The group will also recommend standards that achieve these performance levels while permitting the salmon farming industry to remain economically viable. The Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue focuses their research and standard development on seven key areas of impact of salmon production including: social; feed; disease/parasites; escapes; chemical inputs; benthic impacts and si ting; and, nutrient loading and carrying capacity. Funding for this report and other Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue supported work is provided by the members of the Dialogue’s steering committee and their donors. The steering committee is composed of representatives from the Coastal Alliance for Aquaculture Reform, Fundación Terram, Marine Harvest, the Pew Environment Group, the Norwegian Seafood Federation, Skretting, SalmonChile, Salmon of the Americas, and the World Wildlife Fund.

    Consequences of biomanipulation for fish and fisheries 2001
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The main goal of biomanipulation by fish reduction is not a change in the fish community but a change in the aquatic ecosystem. Fish reduction is a method to push the system in another state, usually a shift from algae domination to macrophyte domination. Intensive fish removal is done by one of the following methods: seining (the Netherlands, Germany, UK), trawling (Sweden, Finland), use of rotenone (Norway, USA, Poland) and stocking of piscivorous fish (USA, Germany). If circumstances allow it (reservoir, ponds) draining is combined with seining (the Netherlands, UK, Poland). The intensity and duration of fishing differs per case, but is quite important for the way the system changes. Fishing may be combined with stocking of predatory fish, mainly pike and pikeperch (or walleye)......
