For this study, the authors suspected that fish that were caught by hook-and-line would be more vulnerable to fishing and less likely to survive to reproduce than fish caught in fish traps. In this paper, the authors report that they found some evidence to support their hypothesis that vulnerability to angling is heritable.  More importantly, {\textquotedblleft}our data unexpectedly revealed that steelhead collected with in-river traps produced nearly twice as many adult offspring as steelhead collected by anglers{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).  They recommend that hatcheries prefer to spawn fish collected by traps, rather than fish collected by anglers.  Note:  the results of this study came from only one generation of descendants.  More research is needed},

	note = {{\textquotedblleft}In salmonids with partial migration, females are more likely than males to undergo smoltification and migrate to the ocean (vs. maturing in freshwater). However, it is not known whether sex affects survivorship during smolt migration (from fresh water to entry into the ocean){\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract). In this study, smolts were sexed and tagged to see if gender affects survival up to the point at which they enter the ocean.  Since females tend to enter the ocean earlier than males, they might have higher survival rates.  This study found that Alsea River female smolts did have higher survival rates in 2009, but not in 2010. Additionally, Nehalem River smolts in 2009 showed no difference in survival based on gender.  The study proves that there can be a difference in survival based on gender in some cases, but that multiple factors affect survival.},
