Regulation of the fitness of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by intra-specific competition amongst the juveniles
Factors affecting the fitness of juvenile salmon are discussed. Although fitness from the genetic point of view is defined as the relative capacity of carriers of a given genotype to transmit their genes to the gene pool of the following generations, growth and survival of individuals are also compo...
