- Abstract
The article features a study on the Atlantic salmon. The development of small-sized acoustic transmitters that could be applied to wild Atlantic salmon smolts makes it possible to access information such as swimming speeds, migration efficiency and orientation that is essential for understanding the factors affecting salmons. The study also focuses in recording the observed and actual swimming speeds and directions of wild Atlantic salmon post-smolts based on simultaneous recordings of fish movements and water current, and to compare these with results from larger hatchery-reared post-smolts.
