Evidence for Size‐Selective Mortality after the First Summer of Ocean Growth by Pink Salmon
Abstract Pink salmon Onchorhynchus gorbuscha with identifiable thermal otolith marks from Prince William Sound hatchery release groups during 2001 were used to test the hypothesis that faster‐growing fish during their first summer in the ocean had higher survival rates than slower‐growing fish.
