Forecasting Yields of Two-Sea-Winter Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) from Icelandic Rivers
To forecast yields of two-sea-winter Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) from 15 Icelandic rivers, I developed predictive regression equations based on yields of grilse of the same smolt class harvested in the previous year. The relationships were positive and significant (P < 0.05) for all rivers....
