Dynamics of downstream migration is considered for juvenile pink salmon at West Kamchatka in 1975–2023. Lengthening of the migration period is noted for recent years with high parental stocks. These changes happened on the background of four-decade increasing of the sea surface temperature in waters at the western coast of Kamchatka (till 2016), on average from 3.0 to 6.5 ºC, and its further decreasing back to 3–4 ºC from 2017 to 2023. So, the warming trend in coastal waters at western Kamchatka
