The article presents a study which examines the factors that affect the swimming pattern and migration of Atlantic salmon kelts in Canadian gulfs with the use of underwater acoustic telemetry. It states that 49 kelts were tagged with the acoustic telemetry transmitters in 2006 and 2007 to monitor the migration behaviour of the fishes. It mentions that the study also examined the physical habitat characteristics and swimming depth patterns of the kelts. It adds that there was no tidal current directions in the migration of the kelts. Moreover, it concludes that kelts are residing in the delta for a long period of time followed by their migration to coastal embayment.

The human-animal bond (HAB) is viewed as growing in importance for practicing veterinarians, veterinary students, and society in general. The fields and activities concerning the HAB are interdisciplinary and varied. There is widespread belief that HAB programs are important for veterinarians, although many practitioners feel that their instruction on this topic was not as complete as desired. Most activities associated with the HAB are conducted in specific centers, but only about half of the veterinary schools in North America have such centers, and the instructional programs they offer to students show much variation. The purpose of this study was to survey North American veterinary schools and to document the activities related to the HAB and HAB centers that are available to veterinary students.
