Life history variation across four decades in a diverse population complex of Atlantic salmon in a large subarctic river
We used >154000 scale samples collected from salmon fisheries in the large River Teno system over a 40-year period to quantify life history diversity and long-term trends. We identified 120 different life history strategies including combinations of smolt (2-8) and sea ages (1-5) and previous spa...
