Table 4: Egg-to-pre-smolt survival of age-0 nerkids for 2005-13. Survival estimates were based on the differences between numbers of Sockeye eggs produced by adult brood year and the associated number of age-0 nerkids estimated to still be present at the end of the summer to fall growing season i.e. October to winter of brood year + 1. The average density recorded during October to winter has been designated as the “pre-smolt density” estimate.
