Ocean conditions are such a major player. It's not that ocean conditions get overlooked but it's still amazing to think of all the work we do for salmon(ids) in the freshwater system when they spend 70-80ish percent of their lives in the salt. Not that there isn't work done in the salt but it's a small percentage of the total work for sure.
Not salt related. This has always been a sweet salmon graphic for me...the inverse relationship between the number of fish and survival of fish. Again the Catch-22...more fish/lower survival/smaller fish vs fewer fish/higher survival/bigger fish. Cool snapshot either way.
