Our joint research with Dr Chris Wood (DFO) found important new results for one of Canada’s most endangered salmon populations! These animals have a very different migration behaviour from other salmon populations in the Strait of Georgia; with some even went into the lower Fraser River. Smolts remaining resident in the Strait of Georgia had better survival until adult return than those who emigrated, and Kokanee (the supposedly land-locked version) migrated out to sea when tagged and released directly into the ocean!
