TLDR
Alevin survival to emergence was high for all species, except for coho and pink salmon at 14 °C, and coho salmon hatched and emerged sooner at all temperatures than the other species.
Abstract
Embryo and alevin survival, time to hatching and emergence, and alevin and fry size of five species of Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) were observed at five incubation temperatures (2, 5, 8, 11, and ...

Latitudinal Clines: A Trade‐Off between Egg Number and Size in Pacific Salmon

TL;DR: It is suggested that local optima in egg size may result in latitudinal clines in egg number, and that egg number evolves around selection for egg size, which is in fact predicted by life history theory and may explain the clutch size patterns observed in many organisms.

Maximum Temperature Limits for Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon, and Steelhead Trout in the Pacific Northwest

TL;DR: Specific numeric maximum temperature criteria that can be integrated into a broader recovery planning process are described for sensitive life stages of three species of Pacific Northwest salmon and steelhead.

Evolution of temporal isolation in the wild: genetic divergence in timing of migration and breeding by introduced chinook salmon populations.

TL;DR: It appears that spawning time may not only evolve during the initial phases of divergence, but it may play an important role in accelerating divergence in other traits.

Population Structure of Columbia River Basin Chinook Salmon and Steelhead Trout

TL;DR: The population structure of chinook salmon and steelhead trout is presented as an assimilation of the life history forms that have evolved in synchrony with diverse and complex environments over their Pacific range to define life history evolutionary strategy to maximize fitness under the conditions delineated.

Individual-based model of sympatric populations of brown and rainbow trout for instream flow assessment: model description and calibration

TL;DR: In this paper, an individual-based model of sympatric populations of brown and rainbow trout in a stream habitat is described. But, the model is limited to a single stream segment in the Middle Fork Tule River, California.
