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.
