Interactions between fine-grained sediment delivery, river bed deposition and salmonid spawning success

Salmonids clean river bed gravels to lay their eggs. However, during the incubation period fine sediment infiltrates the bed. This has been found to limit the success of salmonid spawning, as fine sediment reduces gravel permeability resulting in intra-gravel flow velocities and O<sub>2</su...
