Effects of long‐term exercise on survival, homing and straying of released Atlantic salmon smolts

Atlantic salmon 1+ pre‐smolts were exercised under low (LE) or moderate (ME) water current velocities prior to release. The flow regimes had a minor effect on freshwater growth and did not affect total Carlin‐tag recaptures significantly, but the LE adults strayed more frequently and the ME salmon h...

Description
Summary:Atlantic salmon 1+ pre‐smolts were exercised under low (LE) or moderate (ME) water current velocities prior to release. The flow regimes had a minor effect on freshwater growth and did not affect total Carlin‐tag recaptures significantly, but the LE adults strayed more frequently and the ME salmon homed more successfully to the release site.
