Another issue relating to population regulation that requires further studies is one of scale. In most organisms, density varies at different spatial scales, as does density dependence, and it is rarely known which scale of variation is most important in influencing overall productivity. Due to the complex nature of population regulation, considering both the spatiotemporal scale of density dependence, and interactions between density, phenotype and environment, a population modelling approach that is linked to the underlying mechanisms is required to understand spatiotemporal population dynamics. In the present project, Atlantic salmon will be used as a model organism to address these issues, using a pluralistic approach combining experimental studies with individual/behavioural based population modelling.
