| Notes | The authors analyzed twenty-eight West Coast estuaries regarding whether any of 360 possible fish species were present in those estuaries. Using these results, they grouped the 28 estuaries into six possible classifications. The Umpqua River (along with Coos Bay) falls into both the Northern Estuarine Group and the Northern Riverine Group. Important species are given. |
