title: The volitional travel speed varies with reproductive state in mature female brown trout Salmo trutta.
abstract: This study tested the effect of reproduction on the volitional travel speed of mature female brown trout Salmo trutta L. The downstream travel speed in the pre-spawning state was 0.25 m s(-1) (95% CI : 0.19, 0.34) while it increased significantly to 0.65 m s(-1) (95% CI: 0.49, 0.87) in the post-spawning state. The results suggest state-dependent travel speed in S. trutta.
