Competition among juvenile brown trout, grayling, and landlocked Atlantic salmon in flumes — predicting effects of interspecific interactions on salmon reintroduction success
Worldwide declines in salmonid populations have generated major interest in conservation and restoration of wild populations and riverine habitats. Species reintroductions to previous habitats raise questions about their potential impact on these systems. In River Klarälven, landlocked Atlantic salm...
