Dam construction has serious consequences for anadromous fishes. We examined the effects of migration barriers formed following dam construction on the migratory behavior of white-spotted char (Salvelinus leucomaenis) by comparing migrants in accessible below-dam river sections with migrants in inaccessible above-dam river sections. The frequency of smolts (i.e., potential migrant) was higher for the below-dam sections than for the above-dam sections, and in contrast, the frequency of residents was higher for the above-dam sections. Above-dam sections had lower fry (age 0+) densities and consequently had higher growth rates compared with below-dam sections. A transplant experiment revealed that the majority of the below-dam fish adopted a resident strategy, as well as above-dam fish, when both had experienced the above-dam environment. We conclude that high growth as a result of low density promotes residency in the above-dam sections.

Abstract Life History Theory (LHT) predicts a monotonous relationship between affluence and the rate of innovations and strong correlations within a cluster of behavioral features. Although both predictions can be true in specific cases, they are incorrect in general. Therefore, the author's explanations may be right, but they do not prove LHT and cannot be generalized to other apparently similar processes.
