Sample Design-based Methodology for Estimating Delta Smelt Abundance

open access: yesSan 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 ...

Effects of Temperature and Salinity on Eggs Hatch of the Pond Smelt Hypomesus olidus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
application/pdfResponses of eggs of the pond smelt Hypomesus olidus to a series of temperature and chlorinity combinations were measured for percentages of total-and viable-hatch and time to 50% hatch.

Revisiting Assumptions that Underlie Estimates of Proportional Entrainment of Delta Smelt by State and Federal Water Diversions from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2011
The delta smelt is a small, endemic fish that resides in the upper San Francisco Estuary. They are listed under state and federal Endangered Species Acts. Since 2002, their abundance has been at record low levels.

Identifying minimum freshwater habitat conditions for an endangered fish using life cycle analysis

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice
Identifying the most important factors affecting population growth in animal life cycles is an important tool of species conservation. Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), an annual fish endemic to the San Francisco Estuary in California (USA), has ...

The physiological responses of surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) to environmental stress in Puget Sound, WA, USA

open access: yes
Drastic environmental changes can severely affect a fish's metabolism, growth, reproduction and overall survivability. There is a concern that the synergy of multiple stressors, like the threat of climate change, will lead to population collapses of ...

Effect of egg size on size and viability of newly hatched medaka (oryzias latipes) and surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus pretiosus)

open access: yes, 1977
The relationship between egg size and larval viability, as inferred from size at hatching, resistance to starvation, and growth, was studied in the Medaka, Oryzias latipes (Temminck and Schlegel) , and the Surf Smelt, Hypomesus pretious pretiosus (Girard)

Prey Selection of Larval and Juvenile Planktivorous Fish in the San Francisco Estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This project examined the effects of the introduced Asian copepod Limnoithona tetraspina, the dominant zooplankton species in brackish waters of the San Francisco Estuary, on the diets of larval and juvenile delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and ...
