This study focuses on pre-spawn survival, disease transmission, and temperature-flow dependency in Klamath River salmon populations across tributary and mainstem reaches. It includes simulation modeling of fry growth, fingerling movement, and parr survival to post-release mortality and adult return rates. 8 Relevant
