- Title
A fish of many scales: extrapolating sublethal pesticide exposures to the productivity of wild salmon populations.

- Abstract
The article presents a study which identifies the impact of organophosphate and carbamate insecticide classes on the wild and juvenile chinook salmon populations' productivity in the U.S. The study created a model which associates the reductions of acetylcholinesterase activity with feeding behavior, growth, food ration, and size during migration. It shows that short-term pesticide exposure can result in the reduction of chinook growth and size at its ocean entry.
