Otoliths are calcium carbonate structures found in the inner ear of fish. Otoliths have been found to create daily growth rings and can
therefore be used to establish fish age. Growth rate and survivorship in coho salmon (Oncoryhnchus kisutch) are
often significantly affected by birth date, stream conditions, predation, and
competition for limited resources. The two streams studied here, Cranberry River in Wisconsin and Fork
Creek in Washington, are exposed to different flow regimes.
