The timing of reproduction influences key evolutionary and ecological processes in wild populations. Variation reproductive may be an especially important driver the marine environment, where high mobility many species few physical barriers to migration provide limited opportunities for spatial divergence arise. Using genomic data collected from spawning aggregations Pacific herring (
Abstract We examined 1454 juvenile C hinook salmon, O ncorhynchus tshawytscha ( W albaum), captured in nearshore waters off the coasts of Washington and regon (USA) from 1999 to 2004 for infection by R enibacterium salmoninarum , N anophyetus salmincola hapin skin metacercariae. The prevalence intensities each these infections were established both yearling subyearling salmon. Two metrics salmon growth, weight residuals plasma levels insulin‐like growth factor‐1, determined infected with...
Myxobolus cerebralis, the myxozoan parasite causing whirling disease in salmonids, was first detected northeastern Oregon 1986. To better understand potential impact of M. cerebralis on resident and anadromous salmonids this region, a series studies conducted Lostine River, where infected fish were reported. Rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss fry exposed sentinel cages for 14 d at five sites from near river's mouth to headwaters during period July 1998 November 1999. A subsample assayed...

The prevalence of Ichthyophonus infection in Pacific herring Clupea pallasii was spatially heterogeneous the southern Salish Sea, Washington State, USA. Over course 13 mo, 2232 were sampled from 38 midwater trawls throughout region. Fork length positively correlated with at all sites. After controlling for positive relationship between host size and infection, probability approximately 6-fold higher North Hood Canal than Puget Sound northern Straits (12 vs. 2% predicted a 100 mm fish 30 7%...
