Is Local Behaviour in Salmon Heritable?
Fry from Atlantic salmon taken in Chaleur bay, near the mouth of the Restigouche river, N.B., where the salmon enter early in the summer and mainly as two-sea-year and three-sea-year fish, were planted in 1932 in the East branch (without salmon) of the Apple river at the head of the bay of Fundy.
