Based on available sources and collections in this study, a
total of 28 families and 77 species are known from the lower Columbia...
Behavior and survival in fresh water were studied for three brood years of coho salmon in Sashin Creek, Alaska, from October 1963, until September 1966. Investigations of spawning adults were conducted to determine numbers of spawners, distribution on the spawning grounds, effects on pink salmon, age composition, redd life, fecundities,...
A comparative analysis of structures related to
capture and processing of food, in 624 specimens belonging
