Amy C Hansen

Amy’s research focus is describing fish migration and survival of juvenile and adult Pacific salmon and green sturgeon in rivers and reservoirs throughout Washington, Oregon, and California. A combination of telemetry techniques are used at a variety of high-head and diversion dams or modified river channels to describe and understand migratory fish movements in relation to flows, seasonal and diel timing, and passage structures. Recently, Amy monitored a restoration site intended to provide new rearing habitat for juvenile Pacific salmon and other community fishes. Future monitoring will provide insights into how juvenile fish are utilizing this restored site over time, within a migration season and between years.
