Estuarine residence and growth of juvenile chum salmon
(Oncorhynchus keta) from Netarts Bay, Oregon were estimated
from daily-formed growth increments of sagittal otoliths

during freshwater residence. Estuarine residence time was
inversely related to the average size at which juvenile chum
salmon entered Netarts...

technique employed to estimate the recreational demand was an
aggregated zone average travel cost method (TCM).
The willingness of an angler to pay was deduced from the
