Summary of studies on survival and growth/size of M77-strain growth hormone transgenic (T) coho salmon juveniles relative to wild-type (W) in freshwater naturalized stream environments, with or without predators and/or competitors, under varying levels of supplemental natural food items. Horizontal lines indicate approximate time frame juvenile fish were in the stream. Red vertical arrow indicates time predators were introduced. Ratios of survival and growth are given relative to wild-type fish, red fill indicates indices significantly greater in T fish, and green fill indicates indices significantly greater in W fish. * indicates data is from current study, and superscripts indicate where data is from previously published studies: a27; b26; c29; d13; e23; f21; g25.
