HABITAT SUITABILITY ASSESSED BY A MODEL OF THE GROWTH OF SALMON (SALMO SALAR) PARR
A model for compensatory growth of trout was adapted to model body growth of Atlantic salmon by including a behavioural response to temperatures between 0oC and 6oC. Growth responses at higher temperatures (to 22.5oC) were incorporated from a published salmon model. The new, hybrid, model was parame...
