Do juvenile Atlantic salmon parr track local changes in water velocity?
Abstract When given a choice of two flows and constant food availability, salmon parr should choose the lower flow if they are to optimize their net energy gain . In a two‐choice test carried out in a recirculating flume, there was no significant selection for ranges of naturally occurring high (mea...
