In J.L. Hart, =Pacific Fishes of Canada= (1973), a reference is made
(p. 116) to a study by J.R. Brett and D. MacKinnon, "Some observations
on olfactory perception in migrating adult coho and spring salmon,"
(1952, Fish Res. Board Can. Pac. Progr. Rpt. 90:21-23), to coho being
". . . turned back by the odour of mammalian skin extracts in the 
water."  Is anyone aware of more recent work on this?

Thanks,
