Internal waves of depression were observed propagating
along‐shelf and into northern Monterey Bay, California
(CA) on the inner shelf. These waves had amplitudes
approximately equal to the thermocline depth (∼4 m), and
were unstable to shear and mix the thermocline. Isopycnal
gradient spectra showed that the wave packets lead to...
Severe infection by the endemic myxozoan parasite, Ceratonova (synonym, Ceratomyxa) shasta, has been associated with declines in and impaired recovery efforts of populations of fall-run Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha in the Klamath River, California.
