 Chapter 4 of Steven R. Hare's Dissertation
Examination of the cross-correlation function (CCF) would seem to indicate, for example, that Alaskan sockeye salmon catch is related to SST at all lags between -3 years (i.e., 3 years after the catch) and +6 years (i.e., six years prior to the catch).
For the nine Alaskan growth time series, there were 25 out of 81 correlations significant at the 0.10 level, or roughly three times the number that might be expected due to chance alone.
Alaskan temperatures, both air and sea surface, also shifted in mean level at the same time.

 Chapter 3 of Steven R. Hare's Dissertation
Throughout their long (over 100 yr) commercial exploitation history, several of the Alaskan salmon species have demonstrated "red noise" variability, wherein periods of high (low) production tend to persist for a lengthy period before abruptly reversing to the opposite state.

Landings data for these regional stocks are more likely to reflect actual production than other Alaskan salmon stocks, as they have been the most intensively exploited stocks because of their high abundances and value.
