Size, growth, and origin-dependent mortality of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha during early ocean residence (2013, background): “…previously documented in other species and stocks of juvenile salmon using mark-recapture techniques (Parker 1968, Bilton et al. 1982, Bax 1983, Duffy & Beauchamp 2011), back-calculated size and growth estimates with scales (Healey 1982, Ward et al. 1989, Holtby et al. 1990, Cross et al.…”
When is bigger better? Early marine residence of middle and upper Columbia River spring Chinook salmon (2012, background): “Previous studies found that, for hatchery Chinook salmon, subyearling juveniles that emigrated earlier in the year had higher survival (Duffy & Beauchamp 2011) and individual survival probability was highest for yearling fish migrating during the first half of May (Scheuerell et al. 2009).”
