	year = {2012},
	note = {When hatchery-reared salmon spawn in the wild, there is evidence that they have less reproductive success than wild salmon.  This study considers mate choice as a possible mechanism that contributes to greater or less reproductive success in salmonids.  Wild-spawning coho salmon from the Umpqua River were examined in 2005 and 2006.  {\textquotedblleft}We tested for: (1) a departure from random expectations with regard to mate pair allelic diversity at immune-relevant markers, (2) a correlation between immune-relevant gene diversity and mate pair RS [reproductive success], and (3) distinguishable differences between mate choice strategies used by hatchery-reared and wild origin coho.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},
