| Summary: | The distribution, social behaviour, and feeding behaviour of juvenile Atlantic salmon were studied in a selection of stream and river habitats in northern Scotland using Scuba diving techniques. The results are discussed with respect to food acquisition and choice of feeding site. It is concluded that juvenile salmon feed predominantly on drifting material and that their daytime distribution reflects the current velocity related abundance of drift. |
