Abstract
Basic components of predation processes are briefly reviewed and data on these components are presented for several native Indian food fisheries. Depensatory mortality emerges as a common effect of these fisheries, which supports earlier findings on Skeena River sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). Native food fisheries operate like natural Type II predators, and descriptive equations are provided for use by salmon managers and modelers.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
