Effects of Rearing Density and Structural Complexity on the Pre‐ and Postrelease Performance of Atlantic Salmon (2007, background): “Aggression is a major factor influencing fin damage, making it a useful indicator of aggressive behavior in larger groups of fish (McLean et al. 2000).”
Stocking density and welfare of cage farmed Atlantic salmon: application of a multivariate analysis (2005, methodology): “The fork length and weight of each fish was recorded and used to calculate the condition factor: K ¼ mass ðgÞ 100 fork length cmð Þ3 All fins were assessed for the degree of erosion, splitting and thickening using a rating scale (Turnbull et al., 1998; MacLean et al., 2000).”
Intraspecific food competition in fishes (2006, background): “Where direct aggression occurs, subordinate individuals may be forced to take what prey they can (Croy and Hughes 1991), however, in larger groups subordinate Atlantic salmon may adopt alternative feeding strategies which attract less attention and aggression from dominants, trading off lower rates ”
Behavioural syndromes in farmed fish: implications for production and welfare (2005, background): “For example, among juvenile Atlantic salmon held at high densitites, larger fish have relatively high levels of fin damage, probably incurred as a result of frequent aggressive interactions (MacLean & Metcalfe, 2000).”
Phenotype management: a new approach to habitat restoration (2003, background): “Ryer and Olla, 1995), or because individuals adopt alternative tactics to acquire those resources (e.g. Puckett and Dill, 1985; MacLean et al., 2000).”
Factors that contribute to the ecological risks of salmon and steelhead hatchery programs and some mitigating strategies (2009, background): “Similar dorsal fin damage due to aggressive behavior has been observed in Atlantic salmon (MacLean et al. 2000).”
