Recent marine growth declines in wild and ranched Atlantic salmon Salmo salarfrom a western European catchment discovered using a 62-year time series
Abstract To address population declines, many salmon populations are supplemented with hatchery-bred fish. Little is known about how growth performance of hatchery-bred and wild salmon compare during critical periods such as the first summer at sea. This study compares scale growth measurements betw...
