Repeat spawners (which are nearly all female) typically are not much larger on their subsequent runs ... but can carry up to 30% more eggs (egg carrying capacity is known as fecundicity).



interesting. didn't know that. I guess I was assuming the larger the fish the more spawns likely. I've often read comments like "three-salt...etc" for larger fish. It's interesting biologically since it would suggest females have an advantage passing on it's genetics unless it were offset somehow.
