Smaller, younger salmon due to climate change and competition, new study says | CBC News: Researchers
from the University of Alaska and the University of California Santa
Cruz say it’s due to climate change and competition.

“The only
two variables that had strong evidence were variables related to climate
and competition with pink salmon in the ocean; those were the two
drivers that really seemed to be highly associated with the changes in
size and age,” said Peter Westley, one of the co-authors of the study
from University of Alaska Fairbanks.
