Redwood Creek basin 1993-1994 spawning and carcass survey: Annual progress report
Haux S and Anderson DG. 1994. Redwood Creek basin 1993-1994 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 1993-March 1994, with some summaries of 1990-1994, and 9 years of spawning data from a weir on Prairie Creek. The Summary notes that although long-term data are needed for accurate assessments of population trends, low numbers are found returning to the index streams. Most spawning occurs in Lost Man Creek, with Prairie Creek second, indicating that these are important fish habitat. Text illustrations: physical parameters of index streams, weir data, more. Appendices: project statement, survey conditions (weather, streamflow), summary of spawning/carcass survey data for Prairie Creek, Lost Man Creek, Bridge Creek, and Tom McDonald Creek (16 tables).
