Estuarine nearshore environments are important habitats for many organisms, including
juveniles of several Pacific salmon species (Oncorhynchus spp.). These habitats provide …

A novel application of full-duplex passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag technology was
used to investigate movements of individual subyearling Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus …

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 …

An important nursery function of estuaries is providing prey resources for juvenile fish.
Shoreline armoring compromises epibenthic and terrestrial prey resources, but it is unclear …

Abstract Use of the Columbia River estuary by juvenile Pacific salmon Oncorhynchus spp. is
garnering more attention as managers look to improve salmon survival through estuary …

Background Early ocean experience is a critical time period that affects juvenile salmonid
survival. Understanding juvenile salmonid behavior in nearshore marine environments and …

During their passage from freshwater spawning and rearing habitats to ocean feeding
grounds, juvenile Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) use a system of estuarine and …

Given the presumed importance of benthic and epibenthic estuarine habitats in Chinook
salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) smolt growth and survival, resource managers would …

Juvenile salmon Oncorhynchus spp. experience variable mortality rates during their first few
months in the ocean, and high growth during this period is critical to minimize size-selective …

The degree to which fine-scale habitat use by salmonid species and stocks varies within
habitat types such as estuaries is not fully resolved. We sampled shallow shoreline and …
