Scottish Marine and Freshwater Science Vol 6 No 12: The demography of a phenotypically mixed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) population as discerned for an eastern Scottish river
This report investigates the potential for assessment of fish populations at a sub-river
scale. A sophisticated mathematical model was used to separate salmon from a
single river (North Esk, eastern Scotland) into three sub-stocks, based on the
number
