Best Fit

We examined spatial patterns of covariation in indices of survival rate (residuals from the best-fit stock- recruitment curve) across four decades among 43 wild pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) stocks from 14 geographical regions in Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska. We found strong evidence of positive covariation among stocks within each region and between certain adjacent regions (e.g., correlations from 0.3 to 0.7) but no evidence of covariation between stocks of distant regions (e.g., separated by 1000 km or more). This suggests that important environmental processes affecting temporal variation in survival rates of pink salmon from spawners to recruits operate at regional spatial scales rather than at the larger ocean basin scale. Based on limited fry abundance data, we found that this covariation in spawner-to-recruit survival rates may be strongly influenced by marine processes.

Survival And Development

Heterozygosity of 59 pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) families was compared with embryo and alevin survival, hatching time, and emergence time for developmental temperatures of 4, 8, and 15 °C. There was no consistent association between heterozygosity determined at 23 loci and either embryo or alevin survival or development rate at any of the three rearing temperatures. Embryos and alevins from more heterozygous parents did not have higher survival rates during development at the more extreme temperatures (4 and 15 °C). Hatching and emergence timing was unrelated to parental heterozygosity. For pink salmon, there is no evidence to indicate that heterozygosity is correlated with any phenotypic trait yet examined.

The effect of two photoperiods and rearing at 10, 13, and 16 °C on the development of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) maturity 12 to 13 months after fry emergence was examined. Highest rates of maturity for both males and females were observed in the 10 °C temperature regime with a normal first summer, short winter, and short second summer photoperiod. In any environment examined, males were more likely to have matured than females. Highest survival rates and fastest overall growth rates were also observed at 10 °C. The feasibility of transplanting genes from one pink salmon brood line to another is examined.

The acquisition of parasites by pink salmon during their initial phase of marine life is described. The parasites found were the trematodes Lecithaster gibbosus, Parahemiurus merus, and Pentagramma petrowi, the cestode Phyllobothrium sp. larva, and the nematode Contracaecum sp. larva. An attempt is made to account for the occurrence of the more predominant species, particularly the trematode L. gibbosus.

Salmon Fry

A hatchery method designed for mass production of unfed Pacific salmon fry and utilizing a gravel medium during most of the incubation period is being evaluated on successive cycles of a stock of pink salmon, Oncorhynchus gorbuscha, of the Tsolum River, B.C. Possible treatment effects are studied at emergent fry and returning adult stages in artificially and naturally propagated populations. Average growth rate and, hence, efficiency of yolk conversion were unimpeded in the hatchery environment, but fry emerged 11 days prematurely. Survival from green egg to emergent fry averaged 74.9% in the hatchery and 20.6% in the creek, for a gain ratio at emergence of 3.63. Recovery of selectively marked populations of hatchery and creek fish demonstrated almost identical survival rates from fry to adult stages and a final gain ratio of 3.46. Adult lengths and weights, fecundity, and timing of migrations were unaffected generally by the hatchery treatment.

Pink Salmon Oncorhynchus Gorbuscha

Pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) from a single introduction to Lake Superior in 1956 have reproduced naturally and expanded into all the Great Lakes. Pink salmon feed at or near the surface as they approach spawning streams and some can still be found with food in the stomach on the spawning bed. Spawning behavior of these freshwater pink salmon is similar to that of marine stocks. Fecundity was 1060 ± 229 (24) per fish and total weight averaged 0.68 kg. Total mortality of embryos to 50% hatch ranged from 67 to 87% at five test temperatures (7, 9, 11, 13, 15 °C); 15 °C is considered to be the upper limit for freshwater pink salmon incubation. Juveniles moved downstream only at night and all juveniles usually took a month to complete this movement. Mean preferred temperature for pink salmon up to 36 wk old was 10 °C. Substantial numbers of pink salmon progeny of the 1975 year-class, which entered the Michipicoten River on Lake Superior to spawn in 1977 survived to, and matured at, each age from II to IV yr in a freshwater laboratory environment.Key words: pink salmon, feeding, spawning behavior, fecundity, incubation, emigration, preferred temperature, early life history, age IV, late maturation

Marine Survival

Ecological factors underlying freshwater productivity and marine survival of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were evaluated by analyzing a 30 year time series of local environmental data and censuses of migrating adult and juvenile fish collected at Auke Creek, Alaska. Freshwater productivity was influenced primarily by spawning habitat limitation and less so by stream temperature and flow. Furthermore, a trend of declining freshwater productivity was detected over the time series, which may be related to observed declines in spawning substrate quality and in the duration of the adult migration. Marine survival was highly variable among brood years and was influenced by physical conditions in the nearshore marine environment; warm sea-surface temperatures during nearshore residency were associated with higher marine survival rates, whereas high stream flows late in the fry emigration period were associated with reduced marine survival. Simulations of adult recruitment, based on ecological factors in the freshwater and marine environments, indicated that the productivity of pink salmon in this stream is determined primarily by early marine survival.

Heterozygosity of 26 pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) families was compared with family survival rates up to 410 d after fry emergence and also with asymmetry of pectoral and pelvic fin ray numbers. There was no significant association between heterozygosity calculated at six electrophoretic loci and either survival rate or asymmetry in fin ray number at any time during the 410-d rearing period. More heterozygous families did not have higher survival rates than less heterozygous families, and they did not have less asymmetry in the fin ray characters. Heritabilities of 11 morphometric characters were, on average, lower than the heritabilities of the 2 meristic characters examined. There is no evidence yet to indicate that increased heterozygosity results in increased canalization of morphology in pink salmon.

Positive Effects

To improve the understanding of effects of environmental factors on spawner-to-recruit survival rates of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), we developed several spatial hierarchical Bayesian models (HBMs). We applied these models to 43 pink salmon stocks in the Northeast Pacific. By using a distance-based, spatially correlated prior distribution for stock-specific parameters, these multistock models explicitly allowed for positive correlation among nearby salmon stocks in their productivities and coefficients of early summer coastal sea surface temperature (SST). To our knowledge, this is the first time that such distance-based, spatial prior probability distributions for parameters have been applied to fisheries problems. We found that the spatial HBMs produce more consistent and precise estimates of effects of SST on productivity than a single-stock approach that estimated parameters for each stock separately. Similar to earlier results using mixed-effects models for the same stocks, we found significant positive effects of SST on survival rates of northern pink salmon stocks, but weaker negative effects of SST on survival rates of southern pink salmon stocks. However, we show a smoother transition in magnitude of effects between these regions.
