These cues {\textquotedblleft}should vary across space in response to differences in the predictability of favorable conditions for migration and ocean entry. To examine this, we modeled the short-term outmigration probability of four coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations in three distinct geographic regions in relation to photoperiod, temperature, streamflow, lunar phase, and interactions among these variables. For smolts in Deer and Flynn creeks, Oregon (1960{\textendash}1972), migration probability was influenced by numerous factors, including photoperiod, temperature (absolute and change), flow (absolute and change), and lunar phase, with certain factors interacting. Smolts from Carnation Creek, British Columbia (1972{\textendash}1986) responded to a similarly diverse suite of factors (excluding lunar phase), though in somewhat different ways. In contrast, migration timing of smolts in Sashin Creek, Alaska (1959{\textendash}1969) was best explained by a model that included only photoperiod, temperature, and the interaction between these terms. These population differences suggest fundamental differences across regions in the selection processes operating in both marine and freshwater environments.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)}, month = {2014, Jan.}, pages = {p.56-69}, keywords = {Alsea River Basin, Carnation Creek, Coho salmon = Oncorhynchus kisutch, Deer Creek, Flynn Creek, geographic distribution, juvenile fish, photoperiod, Sashin Creek, streamflow, water temperature}, doi = {10.1139/cjfas-2012-0479 }, author = {Spence, Brian C. and Dick, E.J.} } @article {54821, title = {Riverscape patterns among years of juvenile coho salmon in midcoastal Oregon: implications for conservation}, journal = {Transactions of the American Fisheries Society}, volume = {143}, year = {2014}, note = {The authors studied juvenile coho salmon distribution in streams in the Alsea and Siletz watersheds in 1998, 1999, 2001 and 2002. {\textquotedblleft}We focused on three specific research questions: (1) are there differences in the extent of juvenile Coho Salmon distribution among 4 years within river systems in midcoastal Oregon; (2) are juvenile Coho Salmon patterns of interannual distribution throughout stream networks centered on consistently used sections of stream, or core areas; and (3) does the intrinsic potential of a stream to support Coho Salmon inform interannual patterns of juvenile distribution.{\textquotedblright} (p.27) The authors found core areas, to which fish returned year after year, and areas into which fish would expand under certain conditions.
