The Movements of Ferox Trout, Salmo trutta, in a Scottish Highland Freshwater Loch

Ferox trout ( Salmo trutta ) are the top fish predators in many Scottish lochs feedingon smaller trout and Arctic charr ( Salvelinus alpinus ) – their main prey species. Although once considered a separate species, ferox trout are brown trout which have switched to a mainly piscivorous diet. The die...
