Table 2.
Overlap in area use during the ocean migration between Atlantic salmon tagged in seven different areas, based on overlap in population-specific residency distributions. The values in the table represent Bhattacharrya’s affinity, which can be interpreted as proportion overlap (1 = total overlap, 0 = no overlap). Data from salmon tagged in Iceland were not included due to a small sample size.
