Abstract

Greater numbers of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed to morpholine as fingerlings as compared to trout left unexposed to morpholine as fingerlings homed to a stream scented with this odor (174 vs. 16). In order to locate this stream, the imprinted fish are able to search a distance of at least 13 km. These data support the olfactory hypothesis of homing.
