- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the effect of copper exposures on the predator avoidance and survival of juvenile coho salmon from coastal cutthroat trout. The study performs experimental trials, water chemistry analyses, and statistical analyses to determine the influence of low-level copper exposures on juvenile coho salmon. Results show that copper contamination has affected the response of coho salmon to their chemosensory environment and nearby predators.
