Abstract

The migratory history of the white-spotted charr Salvelinus leucomaenis was examined using otolith microchemical analysis. The fish migrated between freshwater and marine environments multiple times during their life history. Some white-spotted charr used an estuarine habitat prior to smolting and repeated seaward migration within a year.
