Survival And Growth Of Juvenile Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus Kisutch) In Restored Wetlands Of Humboldt Bay, California, Josh D. Cahill Jan 2023

Survival And Growth Of Juvenile Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus Kisutch) In Restored Wetlands Of Humboldt Bay, California, Josh D. Cahill

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

Substantial investment in habitat restoration efforts have been made to promote coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) recovery, yet sampling efforts to document the response of coho salmon populations to wetland restoration are limited. I investigated two cohorts of juvenile coho salmon growth, movement, and survival within the Humboldt Bay drainage in California. My study sites included restoration features and other sample areas in upland creek habitat and in lowland estuarine wetlands that were located in the four largest watersheds within the Humboldt Bay drainage. The objectives of this study were to: (1) determine if coho salmon are using restored, …

Identifying Habitat Suitability And Connectivity For Roosevelt Elk (Cervus Canadensis Roosevelti) On The North Coast Of California, Ashley Ann Harper

Cal Poly Humboldt theses and projects

As human development continues to expand, wildlife managers are faced with problems arising from human-wildlife conflict. To address conflict, it is vital to identify how animals view the landscape and move across areas of differing land use. On the North Coast of California, Roosevelt elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) are widely considered to be a valuable resource but are viewed by some as a nuisance due to economic losses caused by property damage. The aim of this study was to identify suitable habitat and movement corridors for Roosevelt elk across Humboldt and Del Norte counties in northern California. Suitable …
