The magnitude of within-stock variability of postorbital–hypural length and body depth was investigated for spawning pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) and chum salmon (O. keta) stocks. Variability of postorbital–hypural length and body depth of male pink salmon, all maturing at 2 yr of age, was g...
