Atlantic Salmon Ecology (PDF)

The Atlantic salmon is one of the most prized and exploited species
worldwide, being at the centre of a massive sports fishing industry
and increasingly as the major farmed species in many countries
worldwide.

Atlantic Salmon Ecology is a landmark publication, both
scientifically important and visually attractive. Comprehensively
covering all major aspects of the relationship of the Atlantic
salmon with its environment, chapters include details of migration
and dispersal, reproduction, habitat requirements, feeding, growth
rates, competition, predation, parasitsm, population dynamics,
effects of landscape use, hydro power development, climate change,
and exploitation. The book closes with a summary and look at
possible future research directions.

Backed by the Norwegian Research Council and with editors and
contributors widely known and respected, Atlantic Salmon
Ecology is an essential purchase for all those working with
this species, including fisheries scientists and managers, fish
biologists, ecologists, physiologists, environmental biologists and
aquatic scientists, fish and wildlife department personnel and
regulatory bodies. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should
have copies of this important publication.
