In recent years, the numbers of North American multi-sea-winter and one-sea-winter salmon have been steadily declining with multi-sea-winter salmon declining at a faster rate than one-sea-winter salmon (Fig. 1). Although the source of the mortality and its potential cause(s) remain largely unknown,...
