Greetings all,
Can anyone suggest references which look at optimal spawning densities of adult Atlantic salmon. The literature is rich in data regarding Oncorhynchus species but oddly, I have had little success in documenting the parameter for Atlantics. I am investigating the potential impact of escaped aquaculture Atlantics here in coastal British Columbia. Any guidance is appreciated - please respond off-list.
Thanks for your attention.
