Modeling Delta Smelt Distribution for Hypothesized Swimming Behaviors [PDF]
, 2021 Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, is an endangered pelagic fish native to the San Francisco Estuary. The distribution of Delta Smelt in the estuary shifts landward from low-salinity habitat to freshwater habitat before spawning.

Use of affinity analysis to guide habitat restoration and enhancement for the imperiled delta smelt
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Habitat restoration efforts in the upper San Francisco Estuary, including the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California, move forward, despite a paucity of information on the environmental requirements of many targeted species.

Foraging and metabolic consequences of semi-anadromy for an endangered estuarine fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Diadromy affords fish access to productive ecosystems, increasing growth and ultimately fitness, but it is unclear whether these advantages persist for species migrating within highly altered habitat.

Understanding the Extent of Hyperactivity and Related Behavioral Alterations in Delta Smelt and Longfin Smelt [PDF]
, 2022 Agricultural and urban contaminants enter aquatic environments at concentrations that can affect a variety of sublethal endpoints, including organismal behavior, which can in turn lead to impacts at the population level. The San Francisco Bay Delta (SFBD)

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.
