curious of those 500k how many adults return? I've heard it seldom exceeds 1 or 2,000
Also the spring 'rebuilding' number was not achieved due to no brood availability.
I believe only the fall whites are CWT tagged and used as return and exploitation indicator. Last I saw the Chilliwack whites had a 5% is survival rate to age 2 and had some of the highest survival out of many rivers.
Not sure where the summer reds rear, I don't think they rear in the strait of Georgia like the Harrison whites do. I also don't no if they are ocean type like the Harrison whites where they migrate out to the marine estuary right away and stay their for 6 months or if their a stream type and stay in fresh water for a longer period of time.
