Abstract

LITTLE is known about the ‘homing instinct’ in sea trout. Lamond1 gives several interesting examples of sea trout marked and recaptured in successive years in the same tributaries of rivers flowing into Loch Lomond, and Nail2 has recorded similar results for sea trout in South Uist. There, two sea trout marked in small lochs were recaptured the following year in the lochs in which they had been marked, and another was recaptured after an absence of two years, again in the loch in which it had been marked. In each case the sea trout had turned into a minor stream instead of following the main stream.
