Cook A, Bradford R, Bentzen P. 2014. Hydroacoustic tracking of the endangered Atlantic whitefish (Coregonus huntsmani); comparative analysis from wild and hatchery reared populations. Environmental Biology of Fishes. 97(8): 955-964.

  • Current restocking done with hatchery reared (HR) fish
  • Predation for HR fish was higher at 67% compared to wild reared (6.5%)
  • Mortality of wild reared fish was higher due to stress from being tagged for the study (50% compared to 20% for HR)
  • HR took longer to disperse
