Cool, pathogen free refuge lowers pathogen associated prespawn mortality of Willamette River Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:

Benda, Susan

Abstract:

Spring Chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, are transported above dams in the Willamette River to provide access to blocked spawning habitat. However, 30-95% of these transplants may die before spawning in some years. To varying degrees, salmon in other tributaries--both blocked and unblocked--have similar prespawn mortality (PSM). Our study determined if...

Mortality of Willamette River Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS
Early self-sorting behavior in Chinook salmon is correlated with variation in growth, behavior and morphology later in life.

Creator:

Unrein, Julia R.

Abstract:

Juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) exhibit an array of life history tactics in Oregon's Willamette River Basin, yet we do not know to what extent it is driven by phenotypic plasticity or whether it is predetermined and how conditions in the early rearing environment may affect phenotype expression. We have...
