Juvenile coho salmon growth differences track biennial pink salmon spawning patterns

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-10-10T00:00:00Z
Spawning salmon provide marine derived resources to freshwater ecosystems that can benefit stream-dwelling fish foraging and growth. Pink salmon are widely distributed throughout watersheds along the north pacific ocean, and display distinct biennial fluctuations in spawning abundance. These data were collected from a coastal watershed in northern southeast Alaska (Montana Creek) to explore the hypothesis that juvenile coho salmon growth would track biennial patterns of pink salmon spawning abundance.
