Infectious disease, shifting climates, and opportunistic predators: cumulative factors potentially impacting wild salmon declines
Emerging diseases are impacting animals under high‐density culture, yet few studies
assess their importance to wild populations. Microparasites selected for enhanced virulence …

Effects of river temperature and climate warming on stock‐specific survival of adult migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Mean summer water temperatures in the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) have
increased by∼ 1.5° C since the 1950s. In recent years, record high river temperatures …
