Importance of spatial pattern in estimating predation on juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River Importance of spatial pattern in estimating predation on juvenile salmonids in the Columbia River

The impact of piscivores in aquatic systems is often estimated by assuming that predation rate and predator density can be characterized as means throughout large, homogeneous areas. Predation losses of juvenile Pacific salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. migrating through Columbia River reservoirs were previously estimated with the assumption that each reservoir consisted of one or two...

White sturgeon spawning and rearing habitat in the lower Columbia River White sturgeon spawning and rearing habitat in the lower Columbia River

Estimates of spawning habitat for white sturgeons Acipenser transmontanus in the tailraces of the four dams on the lower 470 km of the Columbia River were obtained by using the Physical Habitat Simulation System of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Instream Flow Incremental Methodology to identify areas with suitable water depths, water velocities, and substrates. Rearing habitat...
