Process-based model of fish incubation survival for designing reservoir operations: a case study for Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon
J. J. Anderson, W. N. Beer, J. Israel, S. Greene
The paper develops a process-based model to optimize reservoir operations for salmon egg survival by targeting cold water to the critical hatching stage rather than maintaining low temperatures throughout incubation.
