The role of river flow in the migration of adult Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, through estuaries and rivers
Abstract An assumption of Atlantic salmon, S almo salar L ., management is that river flow influences their upstream migration; but the quantitative relationships between flow and movements are variable and inconsistent. A consensus has emerged that standard rules on salmon flow needs for water mana...
