Distribution and biological characteristics of atlantic salmon (salmo salar) at greenland based on the analysis of historical tag recoveries
In this study, we examined 5481 records of tag recoveries at Greenland from a new tagging database held by ICES that contains information on salmon tagged in Canada, France, Faroes, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Spain, the UK (Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales), and the United St...
