Abstract Variation in circulus spacing on the scales of wild Atlantic salmon is indicative of changes in body length growth rate. We analyzed scale circulus spacing during the post‐smolt growth period for adult one sea‐winter salmon ( n = 1947) returning to Scotland over the period 1993–2011. The gr...
