Pharmaceutical pollution affects migration in Atlantic salmon

Young salmon exposed to pharmaceutical pollution change their behaviour. They prefer to swim alone rather than in shoals and take greater risks during the vital migration from river to sea. This is the result of a unique new study conducted at SLU.
