The growth of brown trout Salmo trutta L. in northern Scottish lochs with special reference to the improvement of fisheries
This paper is based on the investigation of 173 lochs in Scotland from which a total of over 4700 brown trout were examined. Twenty‐four of the lochs, all in northern Scotland, and their trout populations, were selected for detailed comparison in an attempt to identify environmental factors that mig...
