Abstract:
"This report, Report Number 8, summarizes the results and findings of the juvenile chinook salmon food availability study conducted during the 1984 open water (May-October) field season."--Pref.
Benthic and drifting invertebrates were sampled to evaluate fish food resources and the gain and loss of benthic invertebrate habitat resulting from flow changes.
