Description

Mary F. Willson. Because of the huge natural variations in the abundance of salmon from year to year & place to place, much of the attention to these species has been prompted by an interest in reducing the variation & simultaneously maintaining or raising the mean abundance. In contrast, the importance of salmon & their relatives to the ecology of other species dependent on them & to the ecology of riparian ecosystems has scarcely been noticed. This review summarizes variation in salmonid life history, with an emphasis on the salmonine lineage, & suggests ecological, evolutionary, & management implications. Tables.
