Dr. Gregory T Ruggerone, Mr. Larry Lowe, Mr. Keith Binkley, and Mr. Andrew Mcdonnell. 2025. Long-term biennial patterns in Puget Sound Chinook salmon and Southern Resident killer whales: the role of pink salmon and implications for ecosystem management.

Notes
- In the Sultan River Watershed Chinook abundance is negatively correlated with pink abundance.
- During heavy pink years, chinook shift upstream to avoid pink spawning
- Pink salmon have increased, tripling since 1997.
