Atlantic salmon is often a focal species of restoration efforts throughout the north Atlantic and it is therefore an excellent case study for how best to design programmes to address and mitigate threats and correct population declines. This perspective is written to promote the work that has been accomplished towards restoration of Atlantic salmon populations and synthesize how we believe the lessons can be us...

Electromyogram telemetry (EMG) was used to study the behaviour of sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus during migration through difficult passage areas. When swimming on stretches free from obstacles, the EMG values of sea lampreys showed a constant pattern of activity. Conversely, when negotiating difficult passage areas their behaviour were characterized by alternating between short bursts of intense activity (i.e....
Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to assess activity patterns in adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) using electromyogram (EMG) telemetry. The good correlation between EMG values and sea lamprey activity levels observed during laboratory trials, allowed us to study in situ the behaviour of these animals during their spawning migration. Special attention was given to the sea lamprey activity ...
