| Notes | Use of the Salmon River Estuary's marsh channels by sub-yearling Chinook salmon was studied. Study suggests that "individual salmon may exhibit fidelity at the scale of secondary marsh channels within an intertidal marsh-channel network." Found "considerable variation" in wetland use, and relates that variation to foraging opportunities and risks of predation. Suggests that nekton may be more abundant or active at night, providing more food. Suggests tide gates "negatively affect access to habitat by juvenile salmon." Supports preserving the connections between marsh channels. Publisher's .pdf courtesy of the American Fisheries Society. |
