A test of migratory coupling in the salmon-trout predator-prey complex of a subarctic fjord
Lennox, Robert J.; Espedal, Espen Olsen; Barlaup, Bjørn Torgeir; Mahlum, Shad Kenneth; Vollset, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts are vulnerable to predators during their seaward migration. To determine whether sea trout (Salmo trutta) exhibit a coupled migration to exploit the smolt run, we tracked Atlantic salmon ...
