Table 2 Overview of historical and contemporary Sognefjord veteran migrant brown trout scale samples, from which the 1^st / 2^nd sea age specific growth (\({g}_{SW1}\) and \({g}_{SW2}\)_, respectively) were estimated. The number of tagged fish, for which marine migration distance and behaviour data was collected (derived by acoustic telemetry) is also stated
