Anderson DG and McGuire HL. 1994. Redwood Creek basin 1991-1992 spawning and carcass survey: annual progress report. Redwood National Park
Annual surveys in this series provide data on aquatic resources, particularly on the decline or recovery of salmonids, to assist management decisions towards perpetuating the fisheries. Data in this report are primarily from December 1991-April 1992. Sections: I. Index of spawning effort, II. Distribution of salmonids in the index streams and changes in habitat conditions, III. Determination of the size, age, and sex ratio of salmonids, IV. Redd characteristics, V. Recovery of tagged and fin clipped salmonids. Includes summary of trapping for Prairie Creek bypass mitigation, and notes that heavy siltation is expected to result in extremely poor survival rate for the year in this stream which is particularly important to the Redwood Creek fishery. Text illustrations: numbers, timing in relation to flows, fork lengths, and more. Appendices: project statement, survey conditions (weather, streamflow), summary of spawning/carcass survey data for Prairie Creek, Lost Man Creek, Bridge Creek, Tom McDonald Creek, and Redwood Creek (11 tables).
