Incorporating Food Web Dynamics into Ecological Restoration for River Ecosystems (Bellmore et al, 2017)

2022-06-28T14:02:31+00:00

Restoration is frequently aimed at the recovery of target species, but also influences the larger food web in which these species participate. Effects of restoration on this broader network of organisms can influence target species both directly and indirectly via changes in energy flow through food webs. To help incorporate these complexities into river restoration planning, we constructed a model that links river food web dynamics to in-stream physical habitat and riparian vegetation conditions. We present an application of the model to the Methow River, Washington, USA, a location of on-going restoration aimed at recovering salmon. Three restoration strategies [...]

Riverscape Patterns Juvenile Coho Salmon in Midcoastal Oregon (Flitcroft et al, 2014)

Patterns of salmon distribution throughout a riverscape may be expected to change over time in response to environmental conditions and population sizes. Changing patterns of use, including identification of consistently occupied locations, are informative for conservation and recovery planning. We explored interannual patterns of distribution by juvenile Coho Salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in 11 subbasins on the midcoast of Oregon. We found that juvenile Coho Salmon distribution expanded and contracted around stream sections that were continuously occupied (core areas). Timing of expansion or contraction was synchronous among subbasins and appeared to be related to the size of the parental spawning [...]

Coho Salmon Life History Patterns in the Pacific Northwest California (Lestelle, 2007)

2022-06-28T13:51:41+00:00

In 1997 coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) in the Klamath River basin, as part of the Southern Oregon Northern California Coasts evolutionary significant unit (SONCC Coho ESU), were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) cited water management, water quality, loss of habitat, overfishing, and other factors as causing a serious decline of the species within this ESU.
