Long-Term Trends in Summertime Habitat Suitability for Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus (2008, methodology): “Our results, and those of Feyrer et al. (2007), have demonstrated that delta smelt habitat suitability is sensitive to system changes.”
Delta smelt: Life history and decline of a once-abundant species in the San Francisco estuary (2016, background): “Both the TNS (Nobriga et al. 2008) and FMWT (Feyrer et al. 2007) found peak occurrences of Delta Smelt in areas with low specific conductance, with somewhat lower occurrences in fully fresh water.”
Shifts in Zooplankton Community Structure: Implications for Food Web Processes in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (2011, background): “…unlikely that these top-down effects caused the abrupt drop in mysids and declines of many zooplankton species because planktivorous fish declined throughout the upper SF Estuary (Feyrer et al. 2007; Sommer et al. 2007), and parasites or diseases would be expected to act more speciesspecific.”
A Place to Call Home: A Synthesis of Delta Smelt Habitat in the Upper San Francisco Estuary (2013, methodology): “Because delta smelt are strongly associated with distinct salinity ranges (Dege and Brown 2004; Feyrer et al. 2007; Kimmerer et al. 2009), its habitat must also be considered as constantly shifting in position along the tidal axis of the Estuary.”
