Identification of Major British Columbia and Alaska Runs of Even-Year and Odd-Year Pink Salmon from Scale Characters
The present study indicates to what extent the various even- and odd-year pink salmon runs originating in British Columbia and Alaska may be identified from two scale characteristics. Discriminant function analysis indicates that for both the even- and odd-year runs in most instances only small prop...
