Temperature and salinity preferences of endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus, Actinopterygii, Osmeridae). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Temperature and salinity often define the distributions of aquatic organisms. This is at least partially true for Delta Smelt, an imperiled species endemic to the upper San Francisco Estuary.

Modeling Delta Smelt Losses at the South Delta Export Facilities [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2011 I previously estimated proportional losses of delta smelt to the water export facilities in the south Delta (Kimmerer 2008). This note is in response to Miller (2010), who disputes these estimated losses on several grounds.

Vital dye immersion evaluations with juvenile delta smelt
Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2023 Immersion‐based vital dyes were tested as a marking method for use in larval smelt mark–recapture studies. We assessed five fluorescent dyes as a mark for juvenile osmerids: 4‐Di‐1‐ASP, BODIPY FL C12, BODIPY 505/515, Nile red, and calcein.

Sample Design-based Methodology for Estimating Delta Smelt Abundance [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2008 A sample design-based procedure for estimating pre-adult and adult delta smelt abundance is described. Using data from midwater trawl surveys taken during the months of September, October, November, and December for the years 1990 through 2006 and ...
