[2.11 MB] Starkey-Owens (2020) Impacts of flow releases on invertebrate drift and juvenile Chino.pdf
Starkey-Owens, T. 2020. Impacts of flow releases on invertebrate drift and juvenile Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) diet on the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam. Masters Thesis, Humboldt State University. Available: https://www.trrp.net/library/document?id=2546.
Benthic macroinvertebrate (BMI) drift, species composition and abundance are specific to local hydrologic and habitat conditions, which can restrict or enhance availability to salmonids as a food resource. Currently, a knowledge gap exists on the Trinity River (northern California) in how flow releases from Lewiston Dam potentially impact BMI drift and feeding opportunities for juvenile salmonids. Samples of BMIs from drift, benthos, and diets of juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were collected from two sites in the upper Trinity River February-April 2018, during stable flow conditions (~8
