Resumen

The timing of the juvenile Atlantic salmon ocean-entry is considered a critical stage in the species’ life-history. Entry into the ocean at suboptimal times can have negative survival impacts on entire smolt cohorts. Previous studies have identified smolt residency time in the Bras d’Or Lakes as highly variable and correlated with body condition. This study combines energetic modelling using Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory with acoustic telemetry to mechanistically link smolt bioenergetics to their migration strategy within the Bras d’Or. This study examines two main questions: 1) what is the relationship between smolts’ bioenergetics and smolts’ migration strategy, and 2) what effect would warmer water temperature have on smolts’ energetic requirements? Simulation results indicate that smolts requiring more food are more likely to exit the Bras d’Or during the observation period. The results also suggest higher lake temperature would result in faster depletion of smolt energy reserves, which is predicted to favour smolts migrating to the ocean sooner.
