Life History<br />

Chinook salmon in this area generally have an “ocean-type” life history. Puget Sound<br />

populations exhibit both the early-returning <strong>and</strong> late-returning Chinook salmon spawners<br />

described by Healey (1997). However, within these two generalized behavioral forms,<br />

substantial variation occurs in juvenile behavior <strong>and</strong> residence time in fresh water <strong>and</strong><br />

estuarine environments. Hayman et al. (1996) described three juvenile life histories for<br />

Chinook salmon with varying freshwater <strong>and</strong> estuarine residency times in the Skagit<br />

River system in northern Puget Sound. Chinook salmon use the nearshore area of Puget<br />

Sound during all seasons of the year <strong>and</strong> can be found long distances from their natal<br />

river systems (Brennan, Higgins et al. 2004).<br />
