Puget Sound Chum Salmon Growth Linked to Competitor Abundance, Climate Indices, and Copepod Species Richness
Abstract An improved understanding of the mechanisms influencing productivity of fish populations is critical for accurately determining harvest rates and identifying years of conservation concern.

Abstract An improved understanding of the mechanisms influencing productivity of fish populations is critical for accurately determining harvest rates and identifying years of conservation concern.

Generalized additive mixed models identified copepod species richness in the northern California Current and the abundance of PS Pink Salmon O. gorbuscha and Chum Salmon as strong predictors of first‐year growth, the latter indicative of density‐dependent effects as the abundance of local competitors (Pink and Chum salmon) increased.
