Abstract: This project would continue work initiated in FY 94 as part of the PWS System Investigation (Project 94320). This particular sub-project would determine to what extent variations in predation upon juvenile pink salmon affects survival and would identify and describe the mechanisms that cause variation in predation. This would include the identification of fish predators (distribution, abundance, species, and size composition) along the juvenile salmon migratory pathway. The sub-project will also collect samples for a variety of the other PWS System Investigation sub-projects. This sub-project supports vessel charters for shared research platforms including the oceanography investigations.
