| Notes | Examines range of Oregon marshes available to juvenile Chinook salmon to compare observed ecological capacity and growth of salmon. Fish sampled 2003-2004, bioenergetic modeling also done. Differences between the marshes as Chinook salmon habitat were established, but patterns hard to distinguish because of high variability. Lower marshes "offer opportunities for faster growth than higher elevation marshes." Aerial infrared photographs of marsh sites studied in appendix. |
