      The vertical behaviour of 44 veteran sea trout <i>Salmo trutta</i> (275–580 mm) in different marine fjord habitats (estuary, pelagic, near shore with and without steep cliffs) was documented during May–February by acoustic telemetry. The swimming depth of <i>S. trutta</i> was influenced by habitat, time of day (day v. night), season, seawater temperature and the body length at the time of tagging. ...

      The biology and ecology of anadromous brown trout Salmo trutta at sea is poorly understood. This study provided information on spatial and temporal distribution of sea trout in the ocean. The behaviour of 115 individuals (veteran migrants, 270-700 mm) was tracked by using acoustic telemetry in a fjord system during April-September in 2012-2013. Overall, fish spent 68% of their marine residence ...
