Submergence of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in commercial scale sea-cages: A potential short-term solution to poor surface conditions (2009, methodology): “To induce swimming at similar depths at night, we used continuous artificial lighting,which is a standardmanagement tool in commercial production of both spring-transferred (Endal et al., 2000) and autumn-sea-transferred (Oppedal et al.”
Salmon Welfare Index Model (SWIM 1.0): a semantic model for overall welfare assessment of caged Atlantic salmon: review of the selected welfare indicators and model presentation (2013, background): “Periods of good growth typically increase K (Juell et al. 1994; Endal et al. 2000), while periods of poor growth reduce K (e.g. Juell et al. 1994; Einen et al. 1999).”
Animal Domestication and Behavior (2003, background): “Enz et al. (2001) found that whitefish larvae (Coregonus suidteri) fed live zooplankton grew significantly larger than those fed frozen zooplankton.”
Photoperiod can be used to enhance growth and improve feeding efficiency in farmed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (2006, background): “Handeland et al. (2003) found LL application from December to May to enhance growth through the stimulation of food intake alone.”
