The Team

Professor Johan Höjesjö leads the Salmonid Ecology Group (SEG).

He has been working on behavioural variation, habitat preference and migratory behaviour in salmonids in various contexts for over 20 years. He is also co-chairing the ICES working group WGTRUTTA and is responsible for two in-depth courses; Conservation biology in aquatic environments and the master course Stream Ecology and Fish conservation.

I am the PhD student responsible for the NOBROOK project studying ecosystem effects of the invasive Brook trout in Sweden before and after removal. I have my master’s degree in marine biology and limnology from the University of Oslo.

I am the PhD student responsible for the MAPS project studying migration patterns in juvenile sea trout.

My work involves multiple stream sites across Europe and is in close connection with WGTRUTTA a workgroup within ICES. My previous work also centered around juvenile salmonids, specifically their interactions with hydro-renewable energies.

Part time (50 %) PhD student focusing on interactions between invasive alien species and native species in running fresh water, especially brook trout, signal crayfish, brown trout and grayling. Works part time (50 %) at Swedish angler association as project manager with stream restoration, environmental monitoring and stream mapping.

My research interest focus on fish behaviour and ecology.

During my PhD, I studied interspecific interactions between native brown trout and invasive brook trout in Sweden, focusing on behaviour and morphology. I have also studied fish learning and the importance of social and private learning when it comes to angling induced hook avoidance.
