Aluminium in acidic river water causes mortality of farmed Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar L.) in Norwegian fjords

Acute mortality of Atlantic salmon has been described from fjord-based fish farms in Western Norway. Mortality is often related to snowmelt and heavy rainfall in the catchment areas during the winter. Increased freshwater runoff reduces the surface water salinity from >20 to
