Survival and Growth of Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar ) Fry Stocked at Varying Densities in the White River, Vermont
Survival and growth of unfed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fry stocked at varying densities (12, 25, 50, and 75 fry∙100 m −2 ) was evaluated in the White River, a tributary of the Connecticut River in Vermont, using a randomized complete block design. Fry to age-0 parr survival was inversely related...
