Behavior and Growth of Juvenile Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) and Three Competitors at Two Stream Velocities
In a laboratory stream juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), common shiners (Notropis comutus), blacknose dace (Rhinichthys atratulus), and white suckers (Catostomus commersoni) apparently preferred habitats that simulated their natural ones. Only salmon and one sexually mature male shiner defende...
