Influence of dams on population persistence in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)

Barriers to migration can negatively affect population persistence. To explore how dams can influence the viability of a diadromous fish, we developed an empirically based stochastic model to estimate per capita population growth rate (r) and probability of population decline (Pr(r The accepted manu...
