Maine Project
Salinity tolerance and the physiology of seawater entry in downstream migrating Atlantic salmon smolts
January 2005 - January 2016
Personnel
Participating Agencies
- NOAA FISHERIES
- University of Maine
- CRU
- ASC
The transition from fresh water to seawater is a critical developmental stage called "smolting". Understanding the physiological and behavioral mechanisms is a central to this project.
