Notes | This article is aimed at the intelligent layperson and describes the work of two fisheries scientists to explore the environmental conditions coho salmon need in order to carry out migrations and how these conditions might be affected by climate change. Understanding coming changes will help managers adjust water releases from dams to better help the salmon. The article includes information about a new data visualization tool, the “ichthyograph.” |
