Re-introduction of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., to the Tadnoll Brook, Dorset
Atlantic salmon had become extinct in Tadnoll Brook, Dorset, a tributary of the Frome. Fry were reared from River Frome native stock and introduced to Tadnoll Brook. Dispersal downstream of the introduction site was high initially, through at least 1 km; despite dispersal a density of salmon parr of...
