| Notes | One life history strategy for Chinook salmon is the "sea-type" or "ocean-type" strategy. The young salmon adopting this strategy move from freshwater into the estuary and forage for food in estuarine channels. This pattern makes these salmon vulnerable to habitat degradation in estuaries. "Understanding how juvenile salmon use estuarine habitat and the costs and benefits derived from estuarine rearing is essential to effective conservation and restoration of coastal Chinook salmon populations throughout the Pacific Northwest and is the topic of this thesis." Co-major professors were Ian K. Fleming and Dan Bottom. |
