The effects of depth and salinity on juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum) habitat choice in an artificial estuary

The energetic cost for juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha to forage in habitats of different salinity and depth was quantified using a behavioural titration based on ideal free distribution theory. When given a choice between freshwater habitats of different depths (>0·83 or
