Extent of anadromy in bull trout and implications for conservation of a threatened species
Brenkman SJ and Corbett SC. 2005. Extent of anadromy in bull trout and implications for conservation of a threatened species. North American Journal of Fisheries Management. 25(3):1073-1081
From the Abstract: "The use of radiotelemetry revealed that adult bull trout Salvelinus confluentus moved between freshwater and the Pacific Ocean and between watersheds along coastal Washington. Forty-seven of 82 radio-tagged bull trout implanted in the Hoh River and Kalaloch Creek basins were anadromous, and 23 fish were relocated in five different estuaries up to 47 km south of their tagging locations. ... This is the first study to verify that anadromy is a primary life history form in coastal bull trout. ... These results also demonstrate that anadromous bull trout inhabit a diverse range of estuarine, freshwater, and marine habitats."
