Host-pathogen-environment interactions predict survival outcomes of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) released from fisheries

This research characterizes how independent and cumulative stressors, such as fisheries handling and high water temperatures, along with natural infections, affect the health and longevity of wild adult sockeye salmon. The study found that cumulative stressors significantly increased pathogen loads and mortality rates, demonstrating the compounded negative effects on salmon survival.
