Abstract
This thesis investigated the relationships between the feeding behaviour and use of stored fat in overwintering Atlantic salmon parr remaining destined to remain resident in freshwater the following year. Experiments investigated the responses to periods of food shortage at different times of the year to assess the influence of season. Investigations were carried out to examine how feeding motivation and fat storage were influenced by changes in those environmental cues that indicate the change of season. The effect of the normal winter behavioural pattern upon feeding and fat was also investigated.
