Notes:
Synopsis Manipulation of water velocity, fish density and food ration produced few significant effects on the behaviour or social system of juvenile lake charr (Salvelinus namaycush). Individuals showed consistently low levels of agonistic behaviour and spent more time close to the substrate with increasing water velocity. The restricted behavioural plasticity and potential of this species is contrasted with the much greater range shown by the closely related brook charr (S. fontinalis).
