Does size matter? A test of size?specific mortality in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts tagged with acoustic transmitters
Mortality rates of wild Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts implanted with acoustic transmitters were assessed to determine if mortality was size dependent. The routinely accepted, but widely debated, ‘2% transmitter mass: body mass’ rule in biotelemetry was tested by extending the transmitter burden...
