Epizootics of wild fish induced by farm fishMartin Krkosek
Centre for Mathematical Biology, Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada T6G 1G1
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:15506-10. 2006..Spatial segregation between juveniles and adults is common among temperate marine fishes, and as aquaculture continues its rapid growth, this disease mechanism may challenge the sustainability of coastal ecosystems and economies...
Relating dispersal and range expansion of California sea ottersMartin Krkosek
Center for Mathematical Biology, Departments of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences and Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6E 2E7
Theor Popul Biol 71:401-7. 2007..Further, habitat-specific dispersal data could resolve these explanations...
Effects of host migration, diversity and aquaculture on sea lice threats to Pacific salmon populationsMartin Krkosek
Centre for Mathematical Biology, Department of Mathematical, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2G1
Proc Biol Sci 274:3141-9. 2007..These results characterize parasite threats of salmon aquaculture to wild salmon populations and show how host migration and diversity are important factors affecting parasite transmission in the oceans...
Declining wild salmon populations in relation to parasites from farm salmonMartin Krkosek
Centre for Mathematical Biology, Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada
Science 318:1772-5. 2007..These results suggest that salmon farms can cause parasite outbreaks that erode the capacity of a coastal ecosystem to support wild salmon populations...
Sea lice and salmon population dynamics: effects of exposure time for migratory fishMartin Krkosek
Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2R3, Canada
Proc Biol Sci 276:2819-28. 2009..The duration of parasite exposure is probably critical to salmon-louse population dynamics, and should therefore be accommodated in coastal planning and management where fish farms are situated on wild fish migration routes...
Transmission dynamics of parasitic sea lice from farm to wild salmonMartin Krkosek
Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, Center for Mathematical Biology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T6G 2E7
Proc Biol Sci 272:689-96. 2005..Amplified sea lice infestations due to salmon farms are a potential limiting factor to wild salmonid conservation...
Fish farms, parasites, and predators: implications for salmon population dynamicsMartin Krkosek
Centre for Mathematical Biology, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2G1, Canada
Ecol Appl 21:897-914. 2011..These findings indicate that predation is an important component of salmon-louse dynamics and has implications for estimating mortality, reducing infection, and developing conservation policy...
