A hypothesis-driven statistical approach for identifying ecosystem indicators of coho and Chinook salmon marine survival

Highlights

• Salmon marine survival declined in Puget Sound in the 1980s and failed to recover.
• Used hypothesis-driven framework of indicators for salmon marine survival.
• Analyzed factors related to ecology, environmental conditions, and human impacts.
• No single factor explains declines in marine survival.
• Predation, hatchery timing, and anthropogenic impacts are strongest model factors.
