Understanding how farmed salmonids sense and respond to their environment is key to securing animal welfare and efficient production. However, hearing has rarely received attention, despite the omnipresence of underwater sound and its potential effects. We describe how and what salmonids hear, and explore how hearing may differ between wild and farmed conspecifics. We then conduct two systematic reviews, to: (1) understand the...

A range of conservation and restoration tools are needed to safeguard the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture, the culturing of aquatic organisms, often contributes to the numerous stressors that aquatic ecosystems face, yet some aquaculture activities can also deliver ecological benefits. We reviewed the literature on aquaculture activities that may contribute to conservation and restoration outcomes, ei...

With the expansion of Atlantic salmon aquaculture, the economic and ecological impacts of salmon lice ( Lepeophtheirus salmonis ) has increased. Norway battles this problematic parasite with various control and preventative methods within farms. We analysed two national‐level databases to examine the number of operations reported each year from 2012 to 2017 and salmon mortality rates attributable to each operation type. From 2...
