  • Anadromous fish populations will probably benefit initially with increases in survival, abundance, and size of young freshwater life-history stages, which will possibly cascade to older, normally anadromous stages.

    Effects of climate change on arctic anadromous fish 2009

  • Anadromous behavior (migrating from salt to freshwater, as in the case of a fish moving from the sea into a river to spawn) is most prevalent in northern latitudes because the ocean is more productive than the freshwater environments.
