Thanks for the information and context! Interesting to see the variance in marine survival estimates.
Wouldn't have predicted that smolts from the Samish would have 3X the marine survival rate as smolts from the Snohomish/Stilly systems, or that smolts from the South Sound would have the same marine survival estimates as smolts outmigrating from the Quilayute system but there must be data to support these predictions.
