Smolt size in relation to age at first maturity of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar): the role of lacustrine habitat
Back‐calculated growth and size of Atlantic salmon smolts were compared in two groups of river systems in Newfoundland. One group consisted of rivers dominated by lacustrine habitats while the other had rivers characterized by fluvial habitats. Back‐calculated length at each age and smolt size was s...
