The various ways that anadromous salmonids use lake habitats to complete their life history

Despite the preponderance of exorheic lakes in rivers home to anadromous salmonids, little research has focused on how salmon, trout, and char use as part their life histories. The literature this subject so far revealed that some parr move into feed grow before smoltification but smolts moving through tend have high mortality disproportion what is observed other habitats they migrate or through. Adults been using for behavioural thermoregulation prior spawning, kelts iteroparous species often exploit overwinter returning sea recondition. We summarized knowledge salmonid habitat identified gaps about by salmonids related whether are barriers structure genetics populations, compensatory additive, systems with higher rates repeat spawning among salmonids. Human activities alter require further study understand changes temperature, oxygen, ice, circulation affect navigation fate.
