Description
Summary:Included in the area of distribution of Salmo salar are the western coasts of Europe as far south as the Franco-Spanish border as well as the British Isles and Iceland, and, in addition, the eastern coast of Canada and the United States down to the State of Maine. A very large number of investigations have been made in Great Britain and various European countries, both by marking the fish in order to trace their subsequent growth and movements, and by reading their age and history from the scales. Length calculations from scale measurements have also been made in Scotland, Norway, and Sweden.
