| There is significant shift in the MHC composition of trout red muscle between parr and smolts. |
|
| While in freshwater, Chinook Salmon fry and smolts feed on plankton and then terrestrial and aquatic insects, amphipods and crustaceans. |
|
| Quantitative analysis of duty cycle shows a significant increase in duty cycle at each position between parr and smolts. |
|
| Tailbeat frequency increases linearly with swimming speed in both parr and smolts. |
|
| Many species eat the fry and smolts, including striped bass, American shad, sculpins and sea gulls. |
|
| Morton stands at the stern of her boat, dip net poised, waiting for two pink salmon smolts to swim within striking distance. |
|
| One or two years later, the smolts begin to migrate to the Pacific, where they live for one to three years before returning to the river. |
|
| Young fish were also reared in hatchery tanks and released as smolts, the stage at which salmon head to sea before traveling to northerly feeding grounds. |
|
| The Seymour hatchery raises and releases about 750,000 smolts annually, including pink, chum, coho, chinook salmon, cutthroat trout and steelhead. |
|
| Downstream migration of Atlantic salmon smolts was similarly unaffected by beaver dams, even in periods of low flows. |
