Data on sampling variability in smolt abundance for Babine Lake sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) are combined with a previous analysis to calculate a more accurate estimate of the degree of nonlinearity in the relation between smolts and adults. Results indicate significant within-stock nonlinear...
