Methods
Brief schedule of activities
Biological need
Some work has indicated an inverse relationship between predation on coho and numbers of alternate prey for predators (Fisher and Pearcy 1988). This study would examine fluctuations seasonally and annually in type and abundance of alternate prey (sardines, anchovies, herring, etc.), and subsequently correlate those data with survival to jack and adult return and with indices of abundance of predators.
