Generated from papers given at the landmark Sixth Atlantic
Salmon Symposium, held in Edinburgh, UK, Salmon at the Edge
contains a huge wealth of information on such important topics as
the impact of salmon farming, the behaviour of post-smolts in their
early migration and their vulnerability to by-catch, and the use of
nutrient enrichment and habitat enhancement to increase production
of juvenile salmonids.
With chapters written by internationally-known and respected
authors, and including a message of support from His Royal Highness
The Prince of Wales, this important volume is essential reading for
all those involved with salmonid fishes, including fish biologists,
fisheries scientists and managers, environmental, marine and
freshwater scientists, and personnel involved in salmon
aquaculture. Libraries in all universities and research
establishments where these subjects are studied and taught should
have copies on their shelves.
The Sixth Atlantic Salmon Symposium, from which chapters in this
book have been generated, was organised by The Atlantic Salmon
Trust and The Atlantic Salmon Federation, and was
published with the financial support of The
Fishmongers’ Company and Scottish and Southern
Energy.
