| Notes | The conventional model of coho salmon life history assumes that that young coho salmon rear in the streams where they were born, and return to their natal streams as adults in their third year. More recent research has shown that there is a wider variety of life history patterns, and that estuaries may be more important for some coho salmon than was previously known. “This research reconstructs freshwater and estuarine rearing and migration pathways of juvenile O. kisutch in the Salmon River basin on the central Oregon coast. It then quantifies the contribution of each juvenile life-history type to adult returns.” (p.53) |
