Work package 2: Early migration through the inshore zone: fresh water, eatuaries and coastal waters
Task 1: Investigate the influence of biological characteristics of Atlantic salmon smolts on their marine mortality Task 2: The impacts of physical factors in fresh water on marine mortality of Atlantic salmon Task 3: Preparing to migrate – investigate the influence of freshwater contaminants on the marine survival of Atlantic salmon Task 4: The part played by key predators Task 5: The impact of aquaculture on mortality of salmon	C3, E5, E9, E10, E11, E18, E21, E24, E26, I1, N2, R1, U4 E4 E3 E13, U6 E20, N1, N5
Work Package 3: Investigating the distribution and migration of salmon at sea
Task 1: Distribution and migration mechanisms – develop theoretical migration models Task 2: A common approach – refine the plans for a large-scale marine survey Task 3: Salmon at sea: carry out a comprehensive survey - marine surveys - acoustic tagging surveys - data storage tags - others Task 4: Distribution and migration – analyse and collate data	- - C1, E1, U5 C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, E17, E23, N4, U1, U2, U3 I3, I5, I6 C10, E15 -
