Quantifying the effects of post-surgery recovery time on the migration dynamics and survival rates in the wild of acoustically tagged Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar smolts

Abstract Background The experimental effects of surgically implanting fish with acoustic transmitters are likely to have negative effects on survival and behaviour.Measuring the extent of these negative effects is important if we wish to extrapolate inferences from tagged animals to un-manipulated animals.In this study, we examine the effect of sur
