Experiments on downstream movement of recently emerged trout and salmon parr in Grassholme channels, 1983-1985

A number of authors have described the manner in which young salmonids, soon after emergence from the gravel, set up and defend territories. This leads to mortality or downstream displacement of the individuals which are unable to acquire territories and is widely accepted as the main method of popu...
