KeywordsCoho salmon = Oncorhynchus kisutch, hatcheries
NotesFound strong negative correlation between Oregon coastal stream productivity for wild coho salmon and the number of hatchery coho released. Urged that hatcheries be sited where "the potential to produce wild salmonids is low," or that amount of hatchery coho in streams with relatively healthy wild runs be decreased. Gives habitat quality indices for coastal streams.
