Sustainable management of interactions between aquaculture and wild salmonid fish

Objectif

This multidisciplinary project addresses questions relating to:
(i) the declines in wild salmonid populations in NW Europe,
(ii) aspects of the migratory behaviour and physiological responses of juvenile salmonids, as they adapt to seawater and as they respond to the additional environmental challenge and stress of ectoparasitic sea lice infestation, and
(iii) up to date appraisals and modelling of the socio-economic importance, and interaction, of the aquaculture and game angling industries in peripheral rural regions of northwestern Europe.

The research is necessarily multidisciplinary in approach and will engage academic and applied scientists, an SME consultancy and an industrial pharmaceutical company in focusing the various components towards the overall objectives of (a) quantifying the infestation levels which elicit significant physiological stress on the host fish.
