      Acoustic telemetry was utilized to track 49 brown trout (<i>Salmo trutta</i>) and 37 Arctic charr (<i>Salvelinus alpinus</i>) first-time migrants of wild origin [post-smolts; mean LF (fork length): 169 and 172 mm] in a large fjord in northern Norway. The <i>S. trutta</i> were registered at sea for more than twice the time of the <i>S. alpinus</i> (medians of 54 and 22 days, respectively). Both species ...

      Atlantic salmon is an economically and culturally important species. The species encounters several natural and man-made threats during its migration between fresh water and the ocean, which in combination may explain its ongoing decline. With the aim to better understand whether post-smolt behaviour is influenced by physical oceanographic conditions, the migratory behaviour of 173 post-smolts in a ...
