Juvenile salmonid abundance in a diamictic semi‐fluvial stream in Norway—does stream bed shelter beat large woody debris?
This study investigates the effect of large woody debris (LWD) on the abundance of juvenile Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar , L.) and anadromous brown trout ( Salmo trutta , L.) in semi-alluvial side channels of the river Aurlandselva (Norway) using point electrofishing and microhabitat mapping.
