Food Habits of Juvenile Salmon in the Gulf of Alaska July-August 1996
pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), sockeye (0. nerka), chum (0. ketal, and coho (0. kisutch) salmon, were collected during July and August, 1996, using a midwater trawl in near surface waters of the Gulf of Alaska from Southeast Alaska to the Alaska Peninsula. Stomach contents of these salmon were exami...
