Implications of salmon conservation and rearing strategies on epigenetics and riparian ecosystems in New Brunswick, Canada
July 25, 2025 - River ecosystems on Canada’s East Coast face nutrient limitations, largely due to the decline in anadromous fish like Atlantic salmon, which are critical for transporting marine-derived nutrients (MDNs) that enrich...
Measuring the Effects of Habitat Restoration & Abundance Supplementation on Atlantic Salmon Populations
July 25, 2025 - A literature review and peer-reviewed publication will be completed that examines the challenges globally for Atlantic Salmon restoration. This research project ultimately aims to evaluate the outcomes and consequences of...
Lower trophic level subsidies for juvenile Atlantic Salmon production: Can primary and secondary production be linked to juvenile salmon production?
July 27, 2023 - Following the many years of data collection and accumulation on production of juvenile Atlantic salmon and secondary (e.g., benthic invertebrates) and primary (e.g., nutrients, algae, and biofilm) by many organizations,...
Climate change vulnerability assessment framework to support the conservation of Atlantic salmon in Rivers
July 27, 2023 - Vulnerability of Atlantic salmon to climate change has been assessed on a provincial scale in Newfoundland and Labrador [19,20]. The study found that Atlantic salmon have the highest exposure and...
Assessment of thermal refuge enhancement success for Atlantic salmon
July 26, 2023 - River warming poses a critical threat to Atlantic salmon at multiple stages of its life cycle, mainly through increases in metabolic costs with temperature. When cold-water patches are available, behavioural...
Climate change vulnerability assessment framework to support the conservation of Atlantic salmon in rivers
July 14, 2022 - Vulnerability of Atlantic salmon to climate change has been assessed on a provincial scale in Newfoundland and Labrador [19,20]. The study found that Atlantic salmon have the highest exposure and...
Lower trophic level subsidies for juvenile Atlantic Salmon production: Can primary and secondary production be linked to juvenile salmon production?
June 1, 2022 - Following the many years of data collection and accumulation on production of juvenile Atlantic salmon and secondary (e.g., benthic invertebrates) and primary (e.g., nutrients, algae, and biofilm) by many organizations,...
Establishing river by river, ecologically meaningful temperature triggers for behavioural thermoregulation in juvenile Atlantic salmon
May 31, 2022 - It is well understood that Atlantic salmon will seek thermal refuge once certain temperature thresholds are exceeded, and these thresholds differ with age – this behaviour is termed ‘thermoregulation’. However,...
