| Notes | Reports on results of tagging cutthroat trout in the Salmon River in 2004 and 2009. This study calls into question Lisa K. Krentz's 2007 study of coastal cutthroat trout life history patterns. "In contrast to life history patterns in other Oregon estuaries", Krentz had found that cutthroat trout of varying sizes spent long periods of time in channels in the Salmon River. This study did not find that cutthroat trout had extended stays in the estuary: either the fish stayed in freshwater, or, if they migrated into the estuary, they soon moved out to the ocean. Future research and analysis will be directed towards resolving differences between the two studies. Charts, maps, infrared aerial photograph. |
