THESE PAGE NEEDS TO BE INTEGRATED

Notes[edit]

  • 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.
