Ecological implications of flow-mediated scour events for sockeye salmon alevins (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) life cycles involve completion of several developmental stages including the alevin stage. As alevins, sockeye salmon are found within freshwater gravel redds where they utilise yolk sacs for nutrition, growth and development. Flow mediated scour events pose a co...
