FSP Technical Report: Regional Juvenile Coho Salmon Abundance Survey

Forest Science Project. 1999. FSP Technical Report: Regional Juvenile Coho Salmon Abundance Survey. DFG007622. Forest Science Project. Eureka, California

Excerpt: "In the summer of 1999, the Forest Science Project I(FSP) completed a juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisurch) abundance survey in the Mad River-Redwood Creek Hydrologic Unit with the cooperation and assistance of National Marine Fisheries Service, Redwood National and State Parks, Cal Trout and the Fish, Farm, and Forest Communities Forum, Humboldt State University’s Fisheries Department, HSU Fisheries Cooperative, Simpson Timber Company, Pacific Lumber Company, and Natural Resources Management Corporation. This was the first year of a multiyear study. The FSP cooperators have indicated a desire to participate in this study for at least ten years. The goal of the study within any given year is to estimate the total number of juvenile coho salmon within a defined sampling universe. However, any single annual estimate has limited value. The longterm objective of the project is to provide information that can assist in projecting the future viability of coho salmon."
