Project Description:
Objectives:
- examine movements relative to sex, date of tagging, water temperature, and other factors
- determine occupancy duration in habitat areas and any factors that influence subsequent movement
- between year one and year two, is there fidelity to any spawning area sites
- determine rates of movement and factors of influence for downstream migration
- describe extent if any to which fish move among habitat types (coves, tributaries, mainstem)
- determine rates of movement on upstream migration and factors of influence
- determine habitat use cove, tributary, mainstem
