Moon phase and nocturnal density of Atlantic salmon parr in the Sainte-Marguerite River, Québec
Nocturnal underwater counts of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar parr were made on four con-secutive occasions (two lunar cycles, samplings at both the full and new moon) at four 40m long sites in the Sainte-Marguerite River, Québec, Canada, between 30 June and 14 August 2003. Atlantic salmon parr counts...
