Analysis of Limiting Factors Across the Life Cycle of Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). [PDF]
Environ Manage, 2018 We developed a mechanistic life-cycle model derived from the elicitation of multiple factors influencing the success of individual life-stages of the imperiled delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). We discuss the relevance of limiting factors in population ecology and problems with additive models in detecting them.

Delta Smelt and Water Politics in California
Fisheries, 2018 Abstract The Delta Smelt Hypomesus transpacificus is a small translucent fish that lives in the heart of California's water distribution system. It is an endemic species that is on verge of extinction, largely because it is in direct competition with people for water.

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.

Assessing captive spawning strategies for supplementation production of Delta Smelt
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 2023 Abstract Objective To support the declining wild population of Delta Smelt, a conservation hatchery has expanded its mission from maintaining a backup population as insurance against extinction to also producing fish for release into the wild.

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.

Liver Glycogen as a Sensitive Indicator of Food Limitation in Delta Smelt
Estuaries and Coasts, 2023 Abstract Assessing habitat quality is a major goal of conservationists and restoration practitioners, but to associate habitat quality with biomarkers of vagile animals, the biomarkers must respond rapidly. Here, we identified a biomarker capable of rapidly detecting food limitation in the imperiled Delta Smelt (
