Growth rate correlations across life‐stages in female Atlantic salmon

Within smolt ages there was a strong negative correlation between pre‐ and post‐smolt growth in wild three‐sea‐winter female Atlantic salmon Salmo salar . This indicates that trait values providing, or resulting from, increased growth in one environment may cause growth to decrease in the other, pot...

Description
Summary:Within smolt ages there was a strong negative correlation between pre‐ and post‐smolt growth in wild three‐sea‐winter female Atlantic salmon Salmo salar . This indicates that trait values providing, or resulting from, increased growth in one environment may cause growth to decrease in the other, potentially constraining growth rate evolution.
