• Impacts of marine and freshwater aquaculture on wildlife: a global meta-analysis (2018, background): “Recent reviews have outlined the range of interactions that occur between aquaculture activities and wild fauna (e.g. Uglem et al. 2014; Taranger et al. 2015; Callier et al. 2017; Glover et al. 2017), but there has been not yet been a quantitative global synthesis of the impacts of aquaculture on wi”
• The major threats to Atlantic salmon in Norway (2017, positive): “Although the proportion of farmed salmon that escape is low, between 0.04 and 0.16% in 2015, and their survival to adulthood is low (Skilbrei et al., 2015), the sheer numbers of farmed fish result in high risk of genetic changes in many populations (Taranger et al., 2015).”
• Effects of salmon lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis on wild sea trout Salmo trutta—a literature review (2015, background): “Moreover, Taranger et al. (2015) found that of 109 stations investigated along the Norwegian coast for salmon lice infection, 67 locations indicated moderate-to-high mortality of wild sea trout.”
• Development of the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis parasitic stages in temperatures ranging from 3 to 24°C (2019, background): “…fish (Fjortoft et al. 2017), the abundance of farmed Atlantic salmon in the Atlantic ocean exceeds wild salmonid abundance by several hundred-fold (Taranger et al. 2015); thus, this overwhelming bias in farmed host density is thought to disproportionately contribute to and propagate lice…”
• Disentangling the role of sea lice on the marine survival of Atlantic salmon (2018, background): “Sea lice have for several years been considered one of the major risks to environmentally sustainable aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in Norway (Svåsand et al., 2015; Taranger et al., 2015; Nilsen et al., 2016).”
• Half a century of genetic interaction between farmed and wild Atlantic salmon: Status of knowledge and unanswered questions (2017, neutral): “…from fish farms and genetic interactions with farmed escapees FIGURE 1 Aquaculture production of Atlantic salmon based on the eight largest global producers in 2015 as the two primary challenges to the sustainable development of the salmon aquaculture industry in Norway (Taranger et al., 2015).”
