    Notes: SUMMARY. Some authors have recently concluded that, using morphological criteria, the freshwater bryozoans Plumatella repens and P. fugosa cannot be separated and should be regarded as conspecific. To test this conclusion, electrophoretic techniques have been used to examine genetic differences between the two nominate species at several enzyme loci. Significant variation at a malate dehydrogenase locus and three aminopeptidase loci establish beyond doubt that P. repens and P. fugosa are separate but related species. No significant variation was found between two populations of P. repens. Morphological characters for the distinction of the two species are discussed and evaluated.

    Notes: The proportion of potential 1-year smolts, their mean length, the mean length of potential 2-year smolts, and the mortality rate in four half-sib families of Atlantic salmon, reared under four contrasted conditions of overhead cover, is shown to be inffuenced primarily by genetic factors (89.9%, 86.1 %, 82.7% and 80.2% of total variance respectively). Variation between families in smolting rate and mortality rate is influenced by both parents, but more by the male than the female. Variation in mean length is influenced almost entirely by the female parent. These results are discussed in relation to previous findings on bimodality of size distribution and inheritance of growth and mortality characteristics in Atlantic salmon.

    Notes: Behavioural and physiological mechanisms postulated for the control of downstream migration of Atlantic salmon smolts are reviewed briefly, and some new evidence is presented for their refusal to undergo sustained swimming. Although these mechanisms imply passive displacement as the primary means of emigration, it is likely that active components must also exist as the rates of travel of smolts through loch systems are only slightly slower than those recorded for river systems. The timing of these movements within 24 h periods is reviewed and it is shown that the predominantly nocturnal emigration pattern is evident on occasions in alevin, fry and parr stages also. Thus at migration the diel periodicity probably represents a seasonal locomotor rhythm which, under changed behavioural and physiological circumstances, results in downstream displacement.

    Notes: Monel wire and silver wire have been compared as attachment materials for disc tags on brown trout, Salmo trutta L. Results show monel wire to be quite as suitable as silver, and only 1/30th of the cost.

    Notes: The numbers of adult trout in Loch Leven were estimated in April each year 1968–71 by tagging fish caught by seine net, and estimating the proportion of the total stock tagged from examination of the angling catch during June-August. The vulnerability of tagged fish before June and after August was higher than that of untagged fish. Tag losses, estimated by double marking, were 2.15 % over a whole angling season. The reporting rate of tag recaptures varied within and between years from 0.43 to 0.71. Differential mortality of tagged and untagged fish was unimportant, except in two subsidiary experiments when fish were tagged in June and August, when handling losses reached 2.7%. With adjustment for these measured errors, the stock of trout beginning their third or more years in the loch in April, fell from 126 665 in 1968 to 52 337 in 1971.

    Notes: Juvenile trout enter Loch Leven during autumn and winter from the nursery streams, spend their adolescent phase offshore until reaching a length of 0.30 cm, and then move to the littoral areas in early summer. There are two types of littoral area:‘favourable‘areas from which movement of individual fish in the summer is very restricted, and‘unfavourable‘areas used briefly in early summer from which movement away is pronounced. Trout are absent from the littoral areas in winter. In subsequent summers homing to previous feeding areas is characteristic of fish from‘favourable’areas, with a tendency for older fish to move to the south east area of the loch. Spawning runs occur simultaneously into the main inflows, chiefly between October and December. Emigration into the outflow occurs, but is probably unimportant.

    Notes: The effect of particle size of a commercial pelleted feed on the growth of Atlantic salmon from first feeding alevins to first and second year smolts was investigated using 20-day feeding experiments. Ten experiments were performed over a two year period, each comprising six groups of fish separately selected from stock populations. Each group was presented with one of six sizes of food particle ranging from larger than the respective mean mouth breadth (100% feed size), through 50%, 25%, 12·5%, 6·25% to 3·125%. Experiments were performed in six radial flow/circumferential drain tanks under ambient photoperiod and water temperature. Growth rate was found to be closely related to feed size. Maximum growth in each case was shown only on one size of particle; larger and smaller sizes resulted in reduced growth. The particle size for maximum growth increased in direct proportion to fish length. Fish from 4·2 to 20·3 cm in length showed maximum growth on particle diameters 0·022 to 0·026 × fish fork length (PFR). First feeding alevins were found to show comparable growth rate on particle diameters 0·0115 to 0·090 PFR. Some seasonal variation in growth response was indicated. The results are discussed in relation to developmental and seasonal effects. Possible factors affecting the energetics of prey size related differential growth are discussed.

    Notes: The distribution, social behaviour, and feeding behaviour of juvenile Atlantic salmon were studied in a selection of stream and river habitats in northern Scotland using Scuba diving techniques. The results are discussed with respect to food acquisition and choice of feeding site. It is concluded that juvenile salmon feed predominantly on drifting material and that their daytime distribution reflects the current velocity related abundance of drift.

    Notes: In 52 populations of juvenile Atlantic Salmon, Salmo salar L., from 14 pairings of wild parents, reared at the Almondbank smolt rearing station between 1973 and 1976 in circular radial-flow tanks, bimodality in the frequency distribution of length and weight has been characteristic by the first autumn of growth, and has become progressively clearer during the following winter.The examination of 13 populations showed the modes did not correspond to separate sexes, from four others it was shown they did not correspond to immature fish and precociously mature males. It is suggested that the two modes correspond to subpopulations smoltifying at ages (t) and (t+1) years. The age-composition of the smolt-run originating from individual year-classes of salmon in four Scottish rivers was found to be consistent with stocks having size-group segregations, at the time of the first smolt emigration, similar to those found among Almondbank experimental material. It is inferred that bimodality of size distribution is the norm among sibling populations of juvenile Atlantic salmon.
