| Abstract | A~sT~.~cr Annual abundance indices for young fall-run chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), American shad (.41osa sapldlsslma), and longfin smelt (Spirlnclius thaleichthys) increased directly with river flow rates during the spawning and nursery periods. Annual abundance of young delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificas) did not vary with river flow. Several factors associated with flow could expIain the relationships described for chinook salmon, American shad, and longfin smelt. The one factor common to all affected species was that dispersal of young increases when flows increase, which probabIy results in decreased density-dependent mortality. |
