Harper & Ward 2001 beach spawning fish and shorezone types

From Salish Sea Wiki





Harper, J.R. and S. Ward. 2001. Comparison of Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife Beach Spawning Data to Shore Zone Data. Prepared by Coastal & Ocean Resources Inc. for Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.

Notes

  • A large proportion of beach spawning forage fish verified occurances are located on a very limited number of shorezone shoretypes.
  • This suggests that shorezone characteristics might be useful for screening systems for forage fish use.
