Temperature and salinity preferences of endangered Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus, Actinopterygii, Osmeridae) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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.

A pilot study of the performance of captive‐reared delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus in a semi‐natural environment [PDF]
Journal of Fish Biology, 2019 AbstractA captive breeding programme was developed in 2008 for delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus in reaction to dramatic population decline over several decades. We took 526 sub‐adult captive‐reared delta smelt and cultured them for 200 days without providing artificial food or water quality management to assess their performance once released in ...

Developmental Staging and Salinity Tolerance in Embryos of the Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus. [PDF]
Aquaculture, 2019 Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is a critically endangered species endemic to the San Francisco Bay Delta (SFBD). Important for the conservation of this species is understanding the physiological and ecological impacts contributing to their population decline, and current studies lack information on embryonic development.

Gross morphology, histology, and ultrastructure of the olfactory rosette of a critically endangered indicator species, the Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus. [PDF]
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol, 2021 AbstractThe Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is a small, semi-anadromous fish native to the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary and has been declared as critically endangered. Their olfactory biology, in particular, is poorly understood and a basic description of their sensory anatomy is needed to advance our understanding of the sensory ecology of ...
