Effect of Dummy Telemetry Transmitters on Stamina of Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar) Smolts
Effects of three different-sized, internally placed dummy ultrasonic transmitters and one size externally placed dummy radio transmitter on swimming performance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts were determined. Critical swimming speeds were similar for fish in control groups and two of the gr...
