We examined seasonal variation in the spatial distribution and habitat preference of juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in a subarctic river characterized by near-zero water temperatures for 7–8 months a year. Size-specific differences in habitat use were pronounced in summer but disappeared at the onset of winter, when the habitats preferred by small (≤6 cm) and larger (7–17 cm) salmon overlapped heavily. Small salmon favoured low-velocity habitats during all seasons, and in summer and autumn they mainly occupied shallow microhabitats along stream margins. In winter and spring, small salmon preferred deeper habitats farther away from the shoreline. Larger salmon favoured deeper habitats in all seasons, but they only occupied slowly flowing areas at low water temperatures. Since all salmon size classes were closely associated with deep and low-velocity habitats in winter and spring, this time of year may represent a size-selective bottleneck for Atlantic salmon populations. Therefore, management schemes aiming to enhance salmonid habitats in boreal streams must rest on the knowledge of season- and size-specific habitat requirements of salmonid species.

Traditionally, behavioural studies on juvenile Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, have been conducted during the day in summer. It is known that Atlantic salmon become nocturnal in winter, but very little is known about their behaviour at that time. Therefore, observations in a seminatural stream were carried out during the day and night, from February to June, comparing diel and seasonal differences in behaviour between fish adopting alternative life history strategies. The results showed a general trend for more activity in spring than in winter, and the fish were found to be foraging at surprisingly low light levels. There were differences in relative feeding rate between the life history strategies; the early migrant fish foraged mostly during the day whereas the delayed migrant fish did more foraging at night. There is some evidence that the early migrant fish made fewer feeding attempts over the winter, which is surprising, since they grow faster over that period. This suggests differences in foraging efficiency, which could contribute to the separation into these two life history strategies.
