Estimating Juvenile Salmonid Survival Across Diverse Spatiotemporal Scales

Estimating juvenile salmonid survival is one critical factor for assessing recovery. During outmigration, juveniles encounter threats to survival such as native and non-native fishes, avians, aquatic mammals, agricultural and municipal water pumps, tidal gates, and other man-made structures. Route selection plays an important factor to survival due to differences in threat levels. Identifying habitat areas with high mortality provides opportunities to direct restoration activities and recovery efforts.
