Urban stormwater containing dissolved metals, sediment, oil residue and a wide range of other contaminants has been observed to have direct effects of fish life.

THESE PAGE NEEDS TO BE INTEGRATED

• Coho Mortality from Road Stormwater
• Coho Pre-Spawn Mortality

Notes

• This page could be expanded to a more general effects on biota, or effects of different stormwater types, however this was the information I had to start with, so I kept focus narrow. Perhaps a more general stormwater page and category could be developed to organize work.
• Pre-spawn mortality in coho salmon - wikipedia has started a PSM in coho page.
• King et al. (2013) Provides a summary of pre-spawner mortality among adult coho salmon, along with a variety of other articles.
