TL;DR
Nest depth was strongly correlated with female size in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and since nests of different-sized females are at different depths, they are differentially vulnerable to destocking.
Abstract
Nest depth was strongly correlated with female size in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Since nests of different-sized females are at different depths, they are differentially vulnerable to destruction by floods and to other females competing for the same nest sites.

Fish of all lengths tended to mate with similar sized fish, and small males were less successful in holding mates than were large males because they could not successfully defend redds against larger intruders.

The gravel type and structure of brown trout spawning gravels in Teesdale, the flow characteristics of the spawning sites and the size of redds are described, and it is concluded that female size is a major factor.

Detailed accounts of the spawning behavior of chum salmon and rainbow trout in laboratory flumes are provided and it is inferred that velocity and gravel size are important insofar as they influence nest construction.
