that
the
greatest
single
lactor
responsible
for
the
high
mortality
rate
of
sockeye
between
the
frv
and

stages
can
be
attributed
to
predation
by
Mirer
fish
chiefly
the
squawfish
at
Lakelse.
In
order
to
make
an
accurate
evaluation
of
this,
however,
it
is
essential
first
to
know
approximately
how
many
predatory
fish
there
are
in

and
to
what
extent
they
utilize
young
sockeye
in
their
diets.
