AB Locating and differentiating the marine feeding areas used by adult salmon (Salmo salar) is essential to stock-based management and conservation, but traditional tagging studies are limited and influenced by the uneven distribution of the fisheries or research vessel surveys. Here, a novel approach is used, based on the observation that the isotopic composition of animal tissues is intrinsically linked to the environmental conditions during tissue growth, which allows for the distinction of pelagic fish feeding in different locations. This isotopic approach is applied using archived collections of salmon scales and shows that (i) salmon act as size-structured pelagic predators, (ii) adult salmon from different natal origins within the UK (and hence components of the southern European stock complex) feed in different oceanic regions before their return, (iii) one-sea-winter (1SW) and multi-sea-winter salmon returning to some rivers in the UK are separated in their marine feeding areas, whereas those from others are not, and (iv) salmon from the rivers sampled are not feeding in regions of the Northwest Atlantic used by 1SW salmon returning to rivers in Newfoundland. Therefore, the stable isotope approach allows for retrospective investigations of marine diet, location, and migration at stock-and cohort-specific levels.
