Session Six: Movement in Time and Space

This session literally starts with "In the beginning..." for O. mykiss. Then it proceeds through ways we have learned about their life history patterns, their migration as smolts and ends with their return behavior and how tracking their movements can indicate the impact of sport fisheries. Together, these talks provide a glimpse of the space-time continuum of this ancient fish.
