A time and size at release study on chum salmon : details of releases from Conuma hatchery in the spring of 1985 / by R.B. Morley and D. Brouwer.: Fs97-4/1901E-PDF
"A study is currently in progress at Conuma River hatchery, west coast of Vancouver Island, B.C., to measure the effects of time and size at release of juvenile chum salmon on their subsequent survival, growth, distribution, and age at maturity. In the spring of 1985 four releases (March 25, April 16, May 6, and May 27) of juveniles were made from the hatchery, the first consisting of two size categories, each of the remainder of three. An estimated total of 362,216 marked, validly tagged fry were released. Samples were obtained just prior to each release to provide information on long term tag retention, lengths and weights, sex ratios, health, and ability to adapt to seawater. This report provides a detailed description of the study and results of sampling up to and including release; final results are dependent upon recovery of adults"--Abstract, page iii.
