Management implications

Specific measureable objectives

Testable hypothesis
Hypothesis a.4: habitat quantity and quality for rearing spring/summer chinook salmon cannot be enhanced by increased availability of irrigation ditch segments.

Underlying assumptions or critical constraints

Methods

Brief schedule of activities

Biological need
Salmon juveniles enter irrigation ditches when screens are removed, inoperative, or at outflow/return points. There is a need to know the extent of the use, and if the ditches can be managed for rearing habitat.

Critical uncertainties

Summary of expected outcome
Use and quality of irrigation ditches for juvenile salmn rearing, and likelyhood of their use as year round rearing habitat.

Dependencies/opportunities for cooperation

Risks

Monitoring activity
