| Notes | Reports on results of tagging cutthroat trout in the Salmon River in 2004, 2009 and 2010. Used trapping, electrofishing, beach seining and acoustic telemetry to study the population and its life history. This study "complements" Lisa K. Krentz's 2007 study of coastal cutthroat trout life history patterns, "while providing a novel perspective on selected aspects of cutthroat life history, growth, and survival." (p.22) There were high annual variations in migratory and residence patterns. "Although we have found it difficult to ascribe individual fish to estuary or ocean rearing strategies, it appears that cutthroat use one or moer rearing strategies before returning to freshwater in the fall." (p.25) |
