Recovery Activities • Conservation hatchery program • Russian River Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program • Habitat enhancement projects • Water storage & conservation to improve streamflow • Russian River Water Resources Partnership
CSG Monitoring Goals • Evaluate effectiveness of recovery actions. • Identifying Bottlenecks. • Collect long term data sets to see trends. • Assist with Restoration Work: • Pre- and post- project monitoring • Identification of critical site locations
Redd surveys (CMP) • Timing of adult fish in tributaries • Distribution of adult fish and habitat preferences • Identify passage issues
Snorkeling surveys (CMP) • Document the presence and distribution of salmon and steelhead throughout the watershed
Downstream Migrant Trapping • smolt abundance and timing • over winter survival and growth rates • origin ratios, and provides and opportunity to tag wild born fish Joshua Asel
Habitat monitoring • Mapping available habitat during dry season • Stream discharge, dissolved oxygen, and temperature data • When and where do stream disconnections happen, what effects does this have on survival?
