Document Description
To learn about juvenile salmon movements and effects on those movements, tagged juvenile salmon will be tracked throughout the Delta using acoustic telemetry equipment. Salmon will be released near Georgiana Slough and tracked via 80 hydrophones placed on or in the bed of numerous channels. The goals of the project are to determine the physical and behavioral factors that control fish entrainment in the Delta Cross Channel and Georgiana Slough and to determine route selection and survival of out-migrating juvenile salmon throughout the north, west, and central Delta.
