Trapping migrating steelhead trout smolts was done in the spring and early summer of 1993 as part of the 1990 Umpqua National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. Calf Creek was monitored to "validate smolt output estimates" and to "determine if changes in habitat quality are occurring." (Introduction)

The Umpqua River estuary was seined and gilinetted during the summer of 1972 to estimate the composition and distribution of fishes. The number of species collected at most sites averaged from four to six per seine haul and was relatively constant throughout the estuary. The number of fish
collected per...
I conducted a study to identify potential spawning habitat for anadromous salmonids above a 60-year-old hydropower dam in the headwaters of the North Umpqua River in Oregon. Like many other historical salmonid-bearing rivers, little documentation exists for anadromous fish presence above potential natural obstacles upstream of Soda Springs Dam. My...
The fitness of female Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) with respect to breeding behavior can be partitioned into at least four components: survival to reproduction, competition for breeding sites, success of egg incubation, and suitability of the local environment near breeding sites for early rearing of juveniles. Accordingly, breeding sites should...
