A factorial mating design was employed in which five males were mated to each of five females in each of two stocks for both pink and chum salmon. The resulting embryos and alevins were incubated at constant water temperatures of 4, 8, and 16 °C for pink salmon and 3, 8, and 15 °C for chum salmon. V...
