Coastal Movements of Mature Fraser River Pink Salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) as Revealed by Ultrasonic Tracking
Eleven mature pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were tracked in September 1967 for periods of 3–50 hr over distances from 2 to 127 km to determine migration patterns.The fish were classified as "active" or "passive." Active fish moved faster and their paths were straighter. Ac...
