Critical Size, Critical Period Hypothesis (Beamish and Mahnken 2001)

The distribution of the average circuli spacing of the first 10 saltwater circuli from (a) ocean-age-0 coho salmon collected in the Strait of Georgia in September and November, 2000 and (b) ocean-age-1 coho salmon collected in March, July, August, and September in the Strait of Georgia and from Chilliwack and Big Qualicum hatcheries. (Figure from Beamish et al. 2004)

Relative frequencies of scale radius length to circuli 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 for hatchery pink salmon juveniles (dotted lines) and individuals of that cohort returning the following year as mature adults (solid lines). (Figure from Moss et al. 2005)

Goal: to test the hypothesis of critical size and critical period for Sea of Okhotsk pink salmon, and to evaluate the possibility of using the data on the growth and body size of juveniles for predicting their returns
