title: Repeatability of movement behaviour in a wild salmonid revealed by telemetry.
abstract: Movement estimates derived from sub-daily tracking of radio-tagged bull trout Salvelinus confluentus on the Columbia River, British Columbia, Canada, were used to test whether interindividual variation in behaviour was repeatable among contexts, both short- and long-term. Interindividual variation in S. confluentus behaviour was consistent across contexts. These findings emphasize the potential for telemetry as a tool in animal personality and temperament research.
