Salmon Life Cycle
Salmon life cycles from egg to spawning adults with text explaining each life phase.
Chinook Salmon Egg Survival Fieldwork in the Sacramento River, CA
This is fieldwork from a Chinook salmon egg survival pilot study in the Sacramento River. Egg boxes were placed in the river at different locations to collect data on egg-to-fry survival. Some examples of data collected include water velocity and river flow, gravel temperature, scour and deposition, and sediment type.

Cutthroat Trout Being Measured
This is a photo of a cutthroat trout being measured. It will then be used in experiments to understand the sublethal effects of the toxic tire byproduct chemical, 6PPD-quinone.

Eye Fluke Parasite
Fish health monitoring efforts in Upper Klamath Lake have revealed a high prevalence of warm water pathogens. The USGS Western Fisheries Research Center (WFRC) fish health team is investigating parasites as a potential threat to the vulnerable sucker populations.
