Marine migration speeds for four species of Pacific salmon

Species	N	Mean	Median	SD
Chinook	5	0.33	0.15	0.44
Coho	87	0.96	0.29	4.93
Sockeye	128	0.95	0.89	0.38
Steelhead	189	0.86	0.79	0.54

Marine migration speeds are in BL•s⁻¹. Sockeye estimates do not include kokanee. Speeds were estimated for individual smolts as the time between departure from the river mouth until arrival at QCS or JDF, divided by the minimum migration distance between those two locations in BL/s at time of tagging. Individual speeds were then summarized for each species.
