Impact of twenty‐first century climate change on diadromous fish spread over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (2009, background): “The climate change effect on marine environments should also be assessed and included into modelling processes (Beamish & Mahnken, 2001).”
Survival of Puget Sound chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in response to climate-induced competition with pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) (2004, background): “Few studies have demonstrated the effect of competition at sea on survival of salmon, although reduced growth is believed to lead to greater predation risk (Parker 1971) and to greater mortality during winter (Nasagawa 2000; Beamish and Mahnken 2001 ).”
Altered growth and related physiological responses in juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from dietary exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (2006, background): “The reduction in fish size and altered physiological parameters have important ramifications for survival of juvenile salmonids (Burrows 1969; West and Larkin 1987; Beamish and Mahnken 2001) and other species of fish (Cowan et al.”
Links between patterns of marine growth and survival of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, L. (2007, background): “This is consistent again with the hypothesis of Beamish & Mahnken (2001).”
Ontogenetic Diet Shifts of Juvenile Chinook Salmon in Nearshore and Offshore Habitats of Puget Sound (2010, background): “Predation by fish, birds, and marine mammals is hypothesized to be responsible for most of the early marine mortality experienced by juvenile salmon ( Parker 1971 ; Beamish and Mahnken 2001 ).”
Evidence That Reduced Early Marine Growth is Associated with Lower Marine Survival of Coho Salmon (2004, background): “We showed in Beamish et al. (2000a) and Beamish and Mahnken (2001) that abundances of juvenile coho salmon in the Strait of Georgia in September were large relative to the abundances of fish that returned as adults.”
Marine fish life history strategies: applications to fishery management (2003, background): “Abundance and distribution of opportunistic strategists (e.g. Pacific sardine and Pacific herring) are known to fluctuate concurrently with climate–ocean regimes (Beamish et al. 2000a; McFarlane et al. 2000; McFarlane & Beamish 2001).”
Rapid growth in the early marine period improves the marine survival of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in Puget Sound, Washington (2011, background): “In their ‘‘critical size and period’’ hy- pothesis, Beamish and Mahnken (2001) suggested that the regulation of salmon abundance through ocean mortality occurs in two stages, both of which are highly size-dependent.”
Evidence for competitive dominance of Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) over other Salmonids in the North Pacific Ocean (2004, background): “It was hypothesized that reduced growth during spring through fall of the second growing season at sea led to greater mortality during winter when demand for prey can exceed prey availability (Nagasawa, 2000; Beamish and Mahnken, 2001; Ruggerone et al., 2005).”
Evidence for Size‐Selective Mortality after the First Summer of Ocean Growth by Pink Salmon (2005, unknown): “have found that ocean conditions can limit salmon production and that a large percentage of mortality occurs during the juvenile marine life history stage ( Parker 1968 ; Matthews and Buckley 1976 ; Hartt 1980 ; Bax 1983 ; Furnell and Brett 1986 ; Fisher and Pearcy 1988 ; Beamish and Mahnken 2”
Pesticides, aquatic food webs, and the conservation of Pacific salmon (2010, background): “Growth is particularly important for juvenile salmon because body size is a critical determinant of survival during both their freshwater migration to the ocean (Zabel and Achord 2004) and their first year at sea (Beamish and Mahnken 2001).”
When is bigger better? Early marine residence of middle and upper Columbia River spring Chinook salmon (2012, background): “…2005, Petrosky & Schaller 2010), and biological factors, such as body size, primary production, and food chain structure (Henderson & Cass 1991, Beamish & Mahnken 2001, Peterson & Schwing 2003, Beamish et al. 2004, Peterson 2009), in both the fresh- © Inter-Research 2012 ·…”
Equation-free mechanistic ecosystem forecasting using empirical dynamic modeling (2015, background): “It is believed that growth during the early marine stage for Pacific salmon is a critical period that determines subsequent mortality and recruitment (28, 29).”
The recruitment of Atlantic salmon in Europe (2009, background): “Beamish and Mahnken (2001) suggested that recruitment in Pacific salmon was related to growth and the attainment of critical size to survive stressful segments of the first year at sea.”
Size, growth, and origin-dependent mortality of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha during early ocean residence (2013, background): “In many salmonid species the transition from the estuarine to ocean environment as juveniles is considered a critical period of high mortality (Parker 1968, Pearcy 1992, Beamish & Mahnken 2001, Wells et al. 2012).”
