The early marine migratory behaviour of two populations of hatchery‐reared Atlantic salmon Salmo salar was compared in a common‐garden experiment. Post‐smolts from a river in a long fjord (Lærdal River, 144 km from the open coastline, n = 79) and a short fjord (Flekke River, 20 km from the open coas...
