Fecundity, egg size and early hatchery survival for wild Atlantic salmon, from the River Bush
Abstract A total of 118 wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., females were stripped at the River Bush Salmon Station. The total number of eggs (fecundity) and egg diameters were compared for three age groups of adults. Adult length explained the majority of the variation in fecundity whilst freshwat...
