Juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) emigrating from natal tributaries of the Sacramento River may use a number of migration routes to navigate the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (hereafter called "the Delta"), each of which may influence their probability of surviving. We applied a mark-recapture model to data from acoustically tagged juvenile late fall-run Chinook salmon that migrated through the Delta during the winter of 2008-09 to estimate route entrainment, survival, and migration times through the Delta.

Outmigration is an important life stage for Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) survival in the Sacramento River, and yet our understanding of their behavior and needs during this time is limited. To gain a better understanding of their survival and movement rates during outmigration, late fall run Chinook salmon smolts were tracked using acoustic telemetry techniques. Habitat features were measured and quantified throughout the study area to evaluate how Chinook salmon respond to key levee features including shade, instream woody material, and aquatic vegetation. The overall average movement speed through the entire study area was 0.77 m/s with an overall survival of 86%. Based on multiple linear regressions, vegetation was found to have the largest effect on speed with fish slowing down with increased vegetation cover. Shade, river mile, and velocity also had significant effects on movement speeds, but instream woody material was not significant. The result for woody material was surprising since it was anticipated to have a large impact on movement speeds. A positive correlation was found between faster fish movement speeds and higher survival. No evidence of diel movement patterns was found after releasing the fish. These finding can help managers create sites better designed to help Chinook salmon in the Sacramento River system. Results from this paper indicate that the type of woody material being installed might not be appropriate for this life stage of salmon.

Because of the pervasive and substantial decline of Atlantic salmon populations in Maine over the past 150 years, and because they are close to extinction, a comprehensive statewide action should be taken now to ensure their survival. The populations of Atlantic salmon have declined drastically, from an estimated half million adult salmon returning to U.S. rivers each year in the early 1800s to perhaps as few as 1,000 in 2001. The report recommends implementing a formalized decision-making approach to establish priorities, evaluate options and coordinate plans for conserving and restoring the salmon.

Extirpation of Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon ESU (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) from the San Joaquin River is emblematic of salmonid declines across the Pacific Northwest. Previous telemetry studies monitoring reintroduction of threatened spring-run Chinook salmon to the San Joaquin River revealed low out-migration survival of juveniles from rehabilitated upriver habitats to the ocean. To evaluate the link between overall habitat conditions and survivorship, we combined state-of-the-art habitat mapping approaches (Fast Automated Limnological Measurements or "FLAMe") with classic acoustic telemetry technology along the 270 km emigration corridor in Spring of 2019. We used classification algorithms on FLAMe data to develop a zonation scheme for aquatic habitats along the mainstem San Joaquin River, including a portion of the Delta. Despite elevated flow conditions in 2019, outmigration survival of smolts was again comparatively low (5%). However, our habitat-based classification scheme described variation in survival of acoustic-tagged juvenile spring-run Chinook salmon better than other candidate models based on geography or distance. Two regional mortality sinks were evident along the water quality transect, revealing poor survival in areas with higher temperatures and low levels of chlorophyll-[alpha], fDOM, and turbidity. These findings illustrate an overall value in integrating simple classification frameworks to improve our understanding of habitat variation on survival dynamics of imperiled salmonid populations.
