Flow Requirements of Spawning Atlantic Salmon in an Upland Stream: Implications for Water‐Resource Management
Abstract The spawning sites selected by female Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were surveyed over three consecutive years in the Girnock Burn, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Discharge was calculated for each spawning site to assess within‐catchment variation in spawning discharge selection. In total, 428 in...
