Effects of spawning Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) on total lipid content and fatty acid composition of river food webs

Abstract Returning Atlantic salmon subsidize rivers with marine‐derived nutrients (MDNs), potentially altering food web dynamics, shifting to reliance on marine‐derived resources. Stream channels designed to simulate natural river systems, one with MDNs from spawning Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) an...
