The Landscape Ecology team at the Fisheries Ecology Division in Santa Cruz, CA is investigating the life history of this relatively small O. mykiss population to determine its significance in the persistence of the larger South-Central California Coast Steelhead Distinct Population Segment (DPS), which includes anadromous O. mykiss populations from the Pajaro River up to (but not including) the Santa Maria River, to see how these small coastal streams with little human-related impacts may contribute to DPS viability and resiliency. The database stores data from mark-recapture surveys, fish movement data collected via instream PIT tag readers, and stream environmental data. The data will be assimilated into a stage-structured population model, where stages include life history stage and location. Movement and survival rates will be determined and analyzed using data from the stationary PIT tag readers and mobile tracking devices. population dynamics underDevelopment Pipal, Kerrie 831-420-3935 831-420-3977 110 McAllister Way Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA kerrie.pipal@noaa.gov 8:30 - 17:00 contact via email pointOfContact Pipal, Kerrie 831-420-3935 831-420-3977 110 McAllister Way Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA kerrie.pipal@noaa.gov 8:30 - 17:00 Please contact via email custodian asNeeded big creek ecology population dynamics salmon watershed theme DOC/NOAA/NMFS/SWFSC > Southwest Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA.
