Abstract:
Over the course of the summer of 1987 and the spring and early summer of 1988, the Scottish Office Agriculture and Fisheries Department and the Atlantic Salmon Trust monitored the migratory behaviour of adult salmon entering the River Tay in eastern Scotland using radio telemetry. During the course of these studies, attention was focused on determining those factors that affected the migratory behaviour of salmon entering the river at different times of the year. The effect of levels and changes in the regulated main river and tributary flows was also monitored. In this report, further information on the radiotracking study undertaken in 1988 is given, when a further 22 salmon were tagged and their behaviour monitored up to the beginning of the spawning season.
