Growth Rate Potential of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon in Warmer and Cooler Years on the Eastern Bering Sea Shelf

Table 3

Sensitivity of bioenergetic model estimates of juvenile sockeye salmon growth. For each analysis, one of the inputs (OSST (∘C) or prey density (number/cm³) was held constant while adjusting the other by ±20%. A value of 1.0 means that a 20% increase in a value of SST or prey density from its nominal value caused a 20% increase in growth rate potential.

	Temperature (∘C)		Prey Density (number cm^-3)
Year	−20%	+20%	−20%	+20%
2000	0.9	−1.2	−0.9	0.8
2001	1.0	−1.2	−1.4	1.2
2002	3.4	−4.9	−4.7	4.0
2003	1.6	−2.6	−2.2	1.8
2004	0.1	−0.4	−0.5	0.4
2005	0.9	−1.6	−1.4	1.1
2006	0.8	−1.0	−0.6	0.5
