Population structure in the Atlantic salmon: insights from 40 years of research into genetic protein variation (2005, background): “In this regard, quantitative studies of phenotypic variation, supported by breeding work, have generally proven to be just as insightful as allozyme work (Riddell & Leggett, 1981; Riddell et al., 1981; Stewart et al., 2002).”
Fishery-induced demographic changes in the timing of spawning: consequences for reproductive success* (2009, background): “Run timing in two-sea-winter Atlantic salmon has also been shown to be earlier than for one-seawinter adults (Stewart et al. 2002) and early spawning stocks of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta, Salmonidae) in western Canada were comprised of older fish (Beacham and Murray 1987).”
Stock-Specific Migration Timing of Adult Spring–Summer Chinook Salmon in the Columbia River Basin (2004, background): “Migration timing is an adaptive and heritable behavior ( Smoker et al. 1998 ; Stewart et al.”
The paradox of “premature migration” by adult anadromous salmonid fishes: patterns and hypotheses (2016, background): “Third, fish from different populations released experimentally from a common facility showed their ancestral return timing patterns (Ricker 1972; Hansen and Jonsson 1991; Stewart et al. 2002; Jonsson et al. 2007).”
