Survival of coho salmon in northern California streams of varying habitat quality
California Cooperative Fisheries Research Unit. 2000. Survival of coho salmon in northern California streams of varying habitat quality. 6908 *. Humboldt State University. Arcata, CA.
Excerpts: "This report is the second interim report on research being conducted by the California Cooperative Fishery Research Unit, Humboldt State University and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to determine the effects of habitat quality on coho salmon survival rates in northern California coastal streams. It contains preliminary results of research conducted after May 1999, the date of our initial report. Selected data not reported in the initial report are also presented here. Our research examines winter survival in the context of overall survival during the freshwater portion of this species life history as well as the 'quality' of habitat. Here we report results of studies on adult escapement, redd construction, winter and summer survival of juvenile fish and their movement. We also report results of studies on habitat available to coho salmon in three streams and habitats used by juveniles." This report is divided into four separate sections, each written by different authors.
