Oceanic migration in homing Atlantic salmon
Article Abstract:
The oceanic migration of Atlantic salmon from their feeding area and the manner in which they return to their home river can be attributed to the migratory experience that the smolts gather on their outward journey, and their sense of direction. The speed of Atlantic Salmon is faster in coastal water than in rivers. The oceanic migration studied entailed the salmon's migration from feeding areas in the north Norwegian sea to the home river in Norway, crossing coastal and estuarine waters.

Three-dimensional microhabitat use by young pool-dwelling Atlantic salmon and brown trout
Article Abstract:
A study showed a distinct three-dimensional habitat segregation in size groups of juvenile Atlantic salmon and brown trout. Young of the year (YOY) held position close to the river bed and bank, with brown trout holding position further from the substratum, and closer to the river bank than salmon. The vertical segregation of young salmonids were evident in young trout, with YOY closest to the bottom.

Variation in aggressive behaviour and growth rate between populations and migratory forms in the brown trout
Article Abstract:
A new study compares aggressiveness and growth rates of Finnish brown trout populations of differing migratory behaviour reared under similar conditions. It is shown that sea-run populations tend to be more aggressive than resident and lake-run populations.
