Migration patterns and navigation cues of <scp>Atlantic</scp> salmon post‐smolts migrating from 12 rivers through the coastal zones around the <scp>Irish Sea</scp>
Abstract The freshwater phase of the first seaward migration of juvenile Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) is relatively well understood when compared with our understanding of the marine phase of their migration. In 2021, 1008 wild and 60 ranched Atlantic salmon smolts were tagged with acoustic trans...

Abstract The freshwater phase of the first seaward migration of juvenile Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) is relatively well understood when compared with our understanding of the marine phase of their migration. In 2021, 1008 wild and 60 ranched Atlantic salmon smolts were tagged with acoustic transmitters in 12 rivers in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Large marine receiver arrays were deployed in the Irish Sea at two locations: at the transition of the Irish Sea into the North Atlantic between Ireland and Scotland, and between southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, to examine the early phase of the marine migration of Atlantic salmon smolts. After leaving their natal rivers' post‐smolt migration through the Irish Sea was rapid with minimum speeds ranging from 14.03 to 38.56 km.day −1 for Atlantic salmon smolts that entered the Irish Sea directly from their natal river, to 9.69–39.94 km.day −1 for Atlantic salmon smolts that entered the Irish Sea directly from their natal estuary.
