Prairie Creek Life Cycle Monitoring Project
Duffy WG. 2011. Prairie Creek Life Cycle Monitoring Project. Agreement No. P0810315. California Cooperative Fish Research Unit. Arcata, California
This report documents stream surveys conducted along Praire creek and its reaches previously established by the USGS California Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit (CACFWRU). These began 50 m below the confluence of Prairie Creek and Streelow Creek, which is 6.7 km upstream of the mouth of Prairie Creek, and continue upstream for 13.3 km. Population estimation and monitoring of juvenile and adult Pacific salmon on these reaches have been conducted since 1998. From 2008-2011, monitoring has also been conducted on Lost Man Creek, beginning at the confluence with Prairie Creek and extending upstream 4.0 km to the first apparent barrier to migration.. Specifically, this report documents efforts to estimate adult escapement, juvenile abundance, and smolt production.
