Telemetry data of red king crab () migrations in a north Norwegian fjord.

Acoustic telemetry allows for high-resolution, long-term tracking of moving animals. Here, we describe data on the movement patterns of 37 adult red king crab (RKC, ) obtained by means of acoustic telemetry. Acoustically tagged RKC were released in Gamvikfjorden (Sørøya, northern Norway) the 24th of May 2016 and tracked until the 1st of November 2016.

Sea trout Salmo trutta in the subarctic: home-bound but large variation in migratory behaviour between and within populations.

Anadromous brown trout (sea trout), Salmo trutta, is currently in decline throughout its range, largely due to anthropogenic stressors in freshwater and marine habitats. Acoustic telmetry was utilized to study the marine migration of sea trout post-smolts from three populations in a relatively pristine subarctic fjord system. While at sea, the sea trout spent a substantial part of their time close to their natal river, preferred near shore over pelagic habitats and were strongly surface oriented.

Keeping close to the river, shore and surface: the first marine migration of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) post-smolts.

Acoustic telemetry was utilized to track 49 brown trout (Salmo trutta) and 37 Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) first-time migrants of wild origin [post-smolts; mean L (fork length): 169 and 172 mm] in a large fjord in northern Norway. The S. trutta were registered at sea for more than twice the time of the S.

Recent salmon declines: a result of lost feeding opportunities due to bad timing?

As the timing of spring productivity blooms in near-shore areas advances due to warming trends in global climate, the selection pressures on out-migrating salmon smolts are shifting. Species and stocks that leave natal streams earlier may be favoured over later-migrating fish. The low post-release survival of hatchery fish during recent years may be in part due to static release times that do not take the timing of plankton blooms into account.
