Usually 1 in 100 will make it to adulthood.

It's pretty simple math - if the population is stable, and a female produces 3,000 eggs, then only two of those eggs on average would survive to maturity, since it takes two fish to produce fertile eggs.

Logically, if the population of Salmon is fairly stable, about two should survive.

That depends on the population density, food availability, temperature, environment, condition...
Granted not all 3,000 will live..

FACT- Only 40%-50% will survive.
***********That is POST SPAWNING.....Only about 10% of the actual eggs live long enough to hatch.
