of course this thread had nothing to do with estuary coho and their higher mortality. fish feeding in the strait are not estuary fish in the same way grey's harbor or buoy 10 is.

that is what is driving me crazy. everyone agrees about the higher estuary mortality but some stubbornly insist that mortality matches ocean fish, which just isn't true.
