Table 1. Cortisol in salmon by location (ng/mL), mean (SE).

	Severity of Disentanglement Injury				Presence of Fungal Infection
Females
Reproductive Stage	No Injury	Minor Injury	Moderate Injury	Severe Injury	No Fungus	Fungus
In-River Migration	14 (3.0), n = 40	48 (11.3), n = 21	77 (19.6), n = 15	73 (18.8), n = 5	23 (3.3), n = 64	95 (18.7), n = 17
Spawning Stream Mouth	33 (3.2), n = 52	26 (2.1), n = 45	47 (17.1), n = 10	68 (7.2), n = 22	29 (3.0), n = 98	63 (6.8), n = 30

Notes: Cortisol levels in migrating and maturing salmon. All sampled fish (regardless of presence or severity of gillnet disentanglement injuries) were included in estimates for fish with/without fungal infection. Cortisol levels increased in accordance with presence and severity of injury; Nonparametric multiple comparison post-hoc tests confirmed significant differences (P<0.001) between uninjured fish and all categories of injury at in-river migration, and in all pair-wise comparisons at streams except uninjured-minor fish.
