TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize and review the environmental factors affecting the migration behavior and survival of smolts and post-smolts during the river, estuarine and early marine phases, and how behavioral patterns are linked to survival.

TL;DR: To pre- vent escapes of juvenile and adult fish as sea-cage aquaculture industries develop, it is recommended that policy-makers implement a 5 component strategy.

TL;DR: Estimates indicate that salmon farms attract and aggregate over 12 000 t of wild fish into a total of just 750 ha of coastal waters on any given day in Norway, with possible consequences of these persistent, substan- tial aggregations of wild fishes at farms.

TL;DR: Salmon lice-induced effects on sea trout populations may also extend to altered genetic composition and reduced diversity, and possibly to the local loss of sea trout, and establishment of exclusively freshwater resident populations.

TL;DR: Fish farms should be considered as connected, not only through ocean currents, but also through wild fish movements, if saithe share pathogens with farmed salmonids, their behaviours imply that they have the potential to act as vectors for diseases and parasites among salmon farms.
