NotesTwo groups of hatchery-raised steelhead trout and a group of captured wild trout were radio-tagged and released in the Alsea River. "We found no significant difference between groups in their survival to the head of tide or to the mouth of the estuary. . . However, survival was poor in the lower estuary for all three groups; we estimated that only 37% of the traditional brood group, 45% of the new brood group, and 47% of the naturally reared group survived to the ocean."
