Summary of Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) ecology to inform pathogen transfer risk assessments in the Discovery Islands, BC / S.C.H. Grant … [et al.].: Fs70-5/2017-074E-PDF

“This paper describes the biology and ecology of the Fraser River Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) relevant to assessments of the risks to wild salmon due to pathogen transfer from salmon farms located in the Discovery Islands area of British Columbia. The spatial and temporal presence of the Fraser River Sockeye Salmon in the Discovery Islands area for out-migrating juveniles is based on data from the timing when they exit the Fraser River from mid-April to late-May, the estimated 20 to 59 days spent migrating through the Strait of Georgia, and catch data from the Discovery Islands"--Abstract, p. v.
