Description

The physical focal point characteristics of underyearling brown trout (Salmo trutta) were examined by underwater observation in a nursery stream to determine the preferred depths, current speeds and substrates. Each focal point characteristic was analysed with respect to fish activity and age (in months after emergence). Underyearling brown trout in the Kahuterawa stream were found to use focal points with different physical characteristics for different activities. As they aged the Kahuteraw...
