Coho are typically thought to rear in their natal habitat for a year before migrating to sea. We found that many fish (44%) leave their natal habitat early and spend several months rearing in the lower portion of the creek before emigrating. (3/8)
Graph with day of water year on the x-axis and count on the y axis, showing multimodal variation in the timing of fish migrating down from their natal habitat (shown in blue lines) and also variation in their timing of emigration (shown in gold lines)
