	note = {This is a .pdf of a PowerPoint presentation at a conference.  Estuaries may offer attractive opportunities for foraging for juvenile Chinook salmon.  Human intervention can cause wetland losses, however, which may disrupt or reduce invertebrate assemblages, leading to less successful foraging, less growth and lower survival rates for young fish.  Since most of the wetlands in the Salmon River have been restored, it serves as a reference point when this issue is studied.  The authors found that {\textquotedblleft}wetland loss appeared to mediate the effect of density on salmon foraging performance.{\textquotedblright} (slide 20)},
