Exploitation pattern and migration of the anadromous Brown trout, Salmo trutta L., from the River Gjengedal, western Norway
Main Article Content
Abstract
Post-spawners of anadromous Brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) were individually tagged and released in the River Gjengedal during the period 1981 - 1990. The tag returns suggested that the overall exploitation of the trout stock was relatively small. Most recaptures were reported from the sea where the majority was taken by trolling and spinning. A substantial part was also reported in the Atlantic salmon commercial fishery. In the river all recaptures were made by anglers. Although a few fish migrated far away from the river, most fish were caught in the fjord outside the river, suggesting that the migrations in the marine environment were short.
