Smolt migration through lakes is hazardous, as the predation pressure can be extreme and
the hydrology a great contrast to that of a riverine area. However, the mechanisms yielding …

Understanding the causal relationships that contribute to mortality in populations is a priority
for epidemiology, animal husbandry and ecology. Of all the sources of mortality in nature …

Floating passive‐integrated transponder (PIT) antennae and smolt traps were used to study
the time of sea entry and relative recapture of wild and hatchery‐reared Atlantic salmon …

Many Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) populations have experienced significant declines for
decades throughout North America and Europe. Mortality due to marine mammal predation …

Diadromous fish populations have incurred precipitous declines across the globe. Among
many stressors, these species are threatened by anthropogenic barriers that impede …

Migration is critical for life‐cycle completion in diadromous fish species. River connectivity is
vital in facilitating these large‐scale movement events, but the extent of present‐day river …

Tagging salmon smolts to provide information about the timing of outmigration has been a
common approach to monitor phenology and model the risk of encountering stressors …

Predation after release is one of the major concerns of hatchery fish conservation and
propagation. However, the relationships between the size of hatchery fish, the predator …

Background The experimental effects of surgically implanting fish with acoustic transmitters
are likely to have negative effects on survival and behaviour. Measuring the extent of these …

Habitat structural complexity affects the behaviour and physiology of individuals, and
responses to the environment can be immediate or influence performance later in life …
