Interhabitat migration of juvenile Atlantic salmon in a Newfoundland river system, Canada
Migrations of juvenile Atlantic salmon between habitats (both fluvial and lacustrine) were studied in a Newfoundland river system from May through September. Salmon parr showed poor site fidelity in fluvial habitats, and high rates of migration, especially in spring‐early summer. Most habitat shifts...
