Abstract
⺠We related stress physiology to spawning success in pink salmon. ⺠We assessed relationships between individual behavior and cortisol concentrations. ⺠Non-spawning females had greater stress-induced cortisol and decreased longevity. ⺠Dominant fish of both sexes had reduced baseline cortisol concentrations. ⺠Results show fitness correlates of both baseline and stress-induced cortisol.
