The influence of temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen on juvenile salmon distributions in a nearshore estuarine environment

This study examines the effects of a low oxygen environment, in concert with fluctuating temperature and salinity conditions, on the nearshore depth distributions (0-1 m) and flood tide movements of juvenile chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and chum (O. keta) salmon. Comparisons are made between a...
