Factors that Affect the First Year Growth of Chum Salmon Released from Japanese Hatcheries
Increased abundance has been related to reduced adult size in a number of studies from the mid-1960s to the mid-1990s (Kaeriyama 1989, 1998, 1999; Ishida et al. 1993; Bigler et al. 1996). The authors suggested that density-dependent processes play important roles in regulating their ocean growth bec...
