• Climate Change Effects on North American Inland Fish Populations and Assemblages (2016, background): “Low cardiac and aerobic scope in a coastal population of Sockeye Salmon Oncorhynchus nerka with a short upriver migration.”
• Stock Identification of Fraser River Sockeye Salmon Using Microsatellites and Major Histocompatibility Complex Variation (2004, background): “Prespawning mortality is thought to have been caused largely by the parasite Parvicapsula minibicornis and has resulted in fishery closures designed to increase escapement to late-run populations (Cooke et al. 2004).”
• Physiology of individual late-run Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) sampled in the ocean correlates with fate during spawning migration (2006, background): “However, since 1995, segments of the population have initiated upriver migration up to 6 weeks earlier and therefore have reduced or eliminated their historic estuarine delay behaviour (Cooke et al. 2004b; Lapointe et al. 2004).”
• Effect of water temperature, timing, physiological condition, and lake thermal refugia on migrating adult Weaver Creek sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) (2010, background): “Historically, migration mortality rarely exceeded 20% but now generally exceeds 60% and in some years 90% (Cooke et al. 2004).”
• Fishway passage and post‐passage mortality of up‐river migrating sockeye salmon in the Seton River, British Columbia (2011, background): “Other researchers have hypothesized that low initial energy levels and depletion of energetic reserves may contribute to migration failure in anadromous salmon (Cooke et al., 2004; Caudill et al., 2007).”
• Coupling non‐invasive physiological assessments with telemetry to understand inter‐individual variation in behaviour and survivorship of sockeye salmon: development and validation of a technique (2005, background): “A recent programme of research has focused on understanding the migration biology of adult salmon Onchorhynchus spp.; (Hinch et al., 2002; Cooke et al., 2004b).”
• Physiological and energetic correlates of en route mortality for abnormally early migrating adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Thompson River, British Columbia (2006, background): “Full details on the EMG pulse interval transmitter and surgical procedures for sockeye salmon are found in Hinch et al. (1996), with more generic detail in Cooke et al. (2004b).”
• Slow dam passage in adult columbia river salmonids associated with unsuccessful migration : delayed negative effects of passage obstacles or condition-dependent mortality? (2007, background): “Consequently, low initial energetic content and energetic depletion during migration have been implicated as a contributing factor for prespawn mortality in tributaries (Gilhousen 1990; Cooke et al. 2004; Pinson 2005), an area of increasing concern given high prespawn mortality rates observed in som”
• Exposure to high temperature influences the behaviour, physiology, and survival of sockeye salmon during spawning migration (2008, background): “Since 1995, however, variable but large segments of late-run sockeye populations have abandoned this holding behaviour (Cooke et al. 2004) and have advanced freshwater entry by 2–8 weeks.”
• Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Environmental Change and Management Actions for Migrating Fish (2019, background): “Mobile organisms (including fishes) may respond to temporal environmental changes (or altered demands) by dispersing to habitats with more suitable conditions, which might ultimately result in range expansions, distribution shifts (Parmesan and Yohe, 2003; Root et al., 2003; Cooke et al., 2004; Perr”
