Counts of 1SW and MSW salmon returns as an index of marine survival / by Peter A. Shelton, J. Brian Dempson and E. Michael Chadwick.: Fs70-8/90-69E-PDF

"Counts of 1SW and MSW Atlantic salmon returns are often accurate and may have considerable value in assessment and management. Using a simple model, it may be possible to make predictions about future returns or to assess processes such as survival at sea. In this paper previous work on assessing the performance of the 1984 Salmon Management Plan is extended and the assumptions examined. In addition, a randomization test is introduced to analyse return data as an alternative to ANOVA. It is suggested that the conclusion that the Plan led to a significant improvement in survival of MSW salmon is dependent on the assumption that the proportion of the original number of smolt that return as 1SW fish remains constant and that the years immediately prior to the introduction of the Plan are included in the analysis"--Abstract, page 1.
