| Abstract | Three hatchery stocks of chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) contributed sperm to a factorial breeding experiments. Matings with four females form the Netarts stock produced 60 sibling groups which were uniquely marked and combined as fry. There was an effect of paternal hatchery stock and of dam on time between spawning and hatching, an effect of sires in one paternal stock and of dam on fry lengths after 1 month of rearing, and an effect of sires within paternal stocks on susceptibility to vibriosis. |
| Notes | Used males from three hatchery stocks, including Netarts hatchery stock, and females from Netarts stock. Studied how different combinations of parentage (dams or sires) affected time between spawning and hatching, fry lengths after 1 month after hatching, and susceptibility to vibriosis. |
