Sockeye salmon with longer migration routes are more energy efficient than those with shorter migration routes. Those with more difficult migrations produce fewer eggs as this is more energy efficient. High water temperatures also increase the energy expenditure of the sockeye salmon as they migrate upriver.

This addition to the article will go in the section energy costs at the end of the paragraph.
