"Investigations of salmon and steelhead trout downstream migrations in Caspar Creek and Little River, Mendocino County, March-July, 1993"

Abstract

Abstract - This annual study has been conducted, since 1987, on two coastal streams, in order to observe the different trend patterns of juvenile out migrations for coho salmon and steelhead-trout, figure 1. Analysis of the 1993 trapping season indicates, at Little River, a decrease of steelhead-trout yearlings but an increase in coho ""y+"". Coho and trout yearlings, at Caspar Creek, simultaneously tapered in late May and were similar in magnitude, appendix 1 and graph 2. Coho ""y+"" smolts, at both estuaries, migrated from late April till late May. Steelhead-trout ""y+"" smolts were recorded migrating out, during the late May and early June period
