Juvenile Atlantic salmon - mapping the early running component: report
This Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science report describes the application of a genetic tool to estimate the early running component of juvenile Atlantic salmon. The proportions were mapped to visualise within and between-river patterns. These maps can be used to inform and help river managers achieve their conservation aims.
