   Notes: The dependent variable was the number of smolts produced per individual. Fixed factors were year, sex and origin (hatchery or wild). Covariates were parent body size (fork length) and reproductive timing (date individual passed the wier). SS = sum of squares, df = degrees of freedom, MS = mean square, F = F statistic, and P = significance value. Alpha = 0.05. Analysis was performed for (A) combined brood years, (B) brood year 1996, and (C) brood year 1997.
