Two decades have passed since the initiation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's research program aimed at advancing the understanding of estuary and …

Global climate change is shifting the timing of life-cycle events, sometimes resulting in
phenological mismatches between predators and prey. Phenological shifts and subsequent …

Climate-driven changes in the oceans, such as shifts in prey timing and abundance, could
influence variability in population productivity of marine fishes. For example, according to the …

Otolith chemistry is an effective technique for evaluating fish environmental history, but its
utility in fisheries management has not been comprehensively examined. Thus, a review of …

All anadromous fishes, including juvenile salmon, encounter estuarine habitats as they
transition from riverine to marine environments. We compare the estuarine use between …

The trophic habits, size and condition of yearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus
tshawytscha) caught early in their marine residence were examined during 19 survey years …

Simple Summary Steelhead fry reared in hatcheries in Oregon have a high mortality rate
while exhibiting some signs of a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency. This study investigates if …

Variations in marine prey availability and nutritional quality can affect juvenile salmon
growth and survival during early ocean residence. Salmon growth, and hence survival, may …

Weather extremes, such as drought, are predicted to be a strong determinant of species
persistence under climate change. Yet predictions often fail to consider that variation in …

Very little is known about the ecology of juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. that
rapidly traverse estuaries. For these species and life history types, main‐stem habitats are …
