NotesFull title: Oregon coastal coho assessment: Part 1: Synthesis of the coastal coho ESU assessment -- including: 1. Viability analysis; 2. Population bottlenecks; 3. Evaluation of conservation efforts; 4. Monitoring; 5. Current threats to ESU viability; 6. Adaptive management commitments. "May 6, 2005" -- date from front cover. This report is important because it identifies winter habitat for coho ("stream complexity") as the most important limiting factor for the Oregon Coast Evolutionary Significant Unit coho recovery and production. Other limiting factors include hatchery impacts, water quantity, water quality, and exotic fish species. Identifies viable populations. Distinguishes between populations that can persist when marine and freshwater conditions are unfavorable and populations dependent on reproductive contributions from strays from other basins.
