Subject field(s)
  • Marine Biology
  • Fish
  • Aquaculture
CONT

… biologists sit and watch adult salmon as they ascend the fish ladder. Each fish is counted in order to track returns and ultimately, progress toward recovery of … fish stocks … Biologists use these counts to calculate the percentage of fish that return as adults. These calculations are called "smolt-to-adult ratios"...

CONT

Philopatry(i. e., homing) to natal sites is a fundamental life-history trait of most anadromous salmon and trout. Homing increases the likelihood that reproductive-age fish will find mates and locate habitats that are favorable for both adult spawning and juvenile survival … Return to natal sites is therefore highly adaptive, providing fitness benefits and contributing to the evolution of thousands of locally-adapted populations …

OBS

Adult return [of fish] to natal site for reproduction; spatial scale can vary.

DEF

Adult return to non-natal location for reproduction; spatial scale can vary.

CONT

Straying is typically defined as adult migration to, and attempted reproduction at, non-natal sites … In the context of hatcheries and other human interventions, straying is often negatively framed as a "failure to home". However, straying in wild populations is a critical evolutionary feature of salmonid biology that compliments homing.
