Abstract
Adult chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta homing behaviour in a two‐choice test tank (Y‐maze) was monitored using a passive integrated transponder (PIT)‐tag system in response to river‐specific dissolved free amino‐acid ( DFAA ) profiles and revealed that the majority of O. keta showed a preference for artificial natal‐stream water and tended to stay in this maze arm for a longer period; natal‐stream water was chosen over a nearby tributary's water, but not when the O. keta were presented with a non‐tributary water. The results demonstrate the ability of O. keta to discriminate artificial stream waters containing natural levels of DFAA .
