• Description:
  Research was completed to determine factors affecting smolt production and overwinter mortality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) stocked as fry in Vermont tributaries of the Connecticut River. Specific focuses included: 1) timing of smolt migration relative to environmental and physiological factors; 2) effect of ice formation on habitats selected and winter distribution of parr; 3) effect of maturation on parr growth and smolt recruitment; and 4) smolt production dynamics and recruitment modeling.
