Empirical data on growth and residency of juvenile Pacific salmon in North America estuaries

Dataset compiling empirical data on estuarine growth and residency of Pacific salmon in North America. We conducted a systematic literature review to create this database, starting with a literature search in Web of Science Core Collection through Simon Fraser University's library proxy on April 24th, 2018, using the search parameters (salmon, Oncorhynchus) AND (estuary*) AND (residen* OR growth OR survival OR mortality), which returned 681 results (these results were presented in Arbeider 2018). We updated the search on March 29th, 2020, which produced 24 additional papers published after April 2018, and again on July 7th, 2022 which yielded another 31 papers published since March 2020. From these results, we extracted papers that research Pacific salmonids and whose study estuary was in North America. From this reduced list of papers, we extracted growth and residency parameters, as well as other relevant data. For complete methods please refer to:
