Notes[edit]

  • This paper summarizes work from Evaluating Salmon Rearing Limitations in River Deltas which looked at four River Deltas.
  • Examines 4 hypotheses regarding juvenile Salmon use of River Deltas:
    1. Density is higher with higher connectivity
    2. Density is higher in blind channels
    3. Density responds over time to wetland type as a function of temperature and prey availability
    4. The pattern changes for hatchery vs. wild fish based on timing of migration.
