- A modern reference to the ecology of Atlantic salmon and brown trout with intraspecific and interspecific comparisons
- First synthesis of the close relationship between habitat and life histories of these species
- Wide description of how salmonid populations are influenced by climate change and escape from salmon farms and how populations can be managed to reduce negative environmental impacts

About this book
The abundance of wild Atlantic salmon populations has declined in recent years; climate change and escaped farmed salmon are major threats. The climate influences through changes in temperature and flow, while escaped farmed salmon do so through ecological competition, interbreeding and the spreading of contagious diseases. The authors pinpoint essential problems and offer suggestions as to how they can be reduced. In this context, population enhancement, habitat restoration and management are also discussed. The text closes with a presentation of what the authors viewas major scientific challenges in ecological research on these species.
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book brings together a tremendous amount of material … on Atlantic salmon and brown trout in a well-organized manner, producing a book that is both thorough and accessible. … There is no doubt that this book has hit the mark with respect to graduate students and working scientists. … those obtaining it will find it full of information about past research and ideas for future work.” (Thomas P. Quinn, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries, Vol. 22, 2012)Authors and Affiliations
