| Summary: | Data used in the article " Parasite spillback from fish farms reduce return rate of wild salmon" Each release group has been used as a randomized control trials (RCT) of hatchery reared salmon smolts where half of the fish has been treated with an antiparasitic drug. Description of this method has been given in various other publications (Vollset et al. 2014, Vollset et al 2016, Skilbrei et al. 2013). The method involves rearing salmon eggs originating from the national Gene Bank to smolt size in hatchery facilities during one year, and then treating the salmon smolts with fish feed pellets coated with emamectin benzoate (SLICE®). These fish are then released into the river or transported in tanks or mobile net pens further out in the fjord before release. The fish are tagged with either coded-wire-tags (CWT; years 2000-2017) or Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT; 2015-2019) so that it is possible to identify them as they are recaptured or registered on an antenna upon their return as adults.
