5. 3. Individual variation in behaviour: personality and performance of brown trout in the wild

   Author : Bart Adriaenssens; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : behavioural syndromes; personality; life-history; boldness; hatchery; survival; growth; foraging; anti-predator behaviour; learning; brown trout;

   Abstract : Individuals from the same population often show very different behaviour. These differences, when consistent across time, are referred to as animal personality or behavioural syndromes.
