Ephemeral floodplain habitats provide best growth conditions for juvenile Chinook salmon in a California river (2008, background): “In habitats where food is abundant and fish are satiated, temperatures for optimum growth may be higher than those observed in studies where food is limited (Myrick and Cech 2004).”
Framework for Assessing Viability of Threatened and Endangered Chinook Salmon and Steelhead in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Basin (2007, background): “Myrick and Cech (2004) state that juvenile Chinook salmon are unlikely to be capable of rearing for extended periods in temperatures exceeding 24°C, and juvenile steelhead may be able to withstand slightly higher temperatures.”
Comparative Thermal Requirements of Westslope Cutthroat Trout and Rainbow Trout: Implications for Species Interactions and Development of Thermal Protection Standards (2007, background): “Variation in thermal performance and survival among salmonid species and subspecies (McCullough 1999; Meeuwig et al. 2004; Myrick and Cech 2004) attests to the importance of developing species-specific thermal criteria.”
