Temperature and Flow Effects on Migration Timing of Chinook Salmon Smolts (2009, background): “The negative value of the flow coefficient was unexpected given that previous studies have found that increasing flow facilitates downstream migration (e.g., Connor et al. 2003).”
Mechanistic effects of low-flow hydrology on riverine ecosystems: ecological principles and consequences of alteration (2012, background): “Mortality of salmonids has been associated with elevated temperatures during summer (Connor et al. 2003, Gunn and Snucins 2010), and fish survival increases with stream flow (Connor et al. 2003, Xu et al. 2010).”
Two Alternative Juvenile Life History Types for Fall Chinook Salmon in the Snake River Basin (2005, background): “Summer flow augmentation is a recovery measure that includes the release of 6–14°C water from Dworshak Reservoir accompanied by releases of water from reservoirs upstream of Brownlee Dam ( Figure 1 ; Connor et al. 1998 , 2003c ).”
Effects of the federal Columbia River Power System on salmonid populations (2005, background): “Since 1992, Connor et al. (2003a) have beach seined, PIT tagged, and released wild fall Chinook salmon in their rearing areas.”
