Maturation is the allocation of energy to growth and differentiation of germinal tissue to the
ultimate production of gametes. In Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, maturation begins in the egg …

Acute stressors are commonly experienced by wild animals but their effects on fitness rarely
are studied in the natural environment. Billions of fish are captured and released annually …

The spatial and temporal patterns of dispersal and the survival of Atlantic salmon (Salmo

Fluvial salmonids have evolved to use the diversity of habitats in natural streams for different
life history stages and at different seasons. Required freshwater habitat of Atlantic salmon …

Estuaries are productive ecosystems providing important habitat for a diversity of species,
yet they also experience intense levels of anthropogenic development. To inform decision …

We evaluated the relative importance of “bottom-up”(production-limited) and “top-
down”(predator-mediated) processes during early marine residence in a population of …

Salmonids like rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis and
brown trout Salmo trutta are potent invaders in various regions throughout the world, but non …

When cultured Atlantic salmon are released into nature, they compete with wild fish for food,

Reproductive‐based migration is a challenging period for many animals, but particularly for
Pacific salmonids, which must navigate from the high seas to freshwater natal streams. For …

For centuries, biologists have marvelled at how anadromous salmonids–fish that pass from
rivers into oceans and back again–survive as they migrate between these two very different …
