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.

Visual, spectral, and microchemical quantification of crystalline anomalies in otoliths of wild and cultured delta smelt [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Developmental abnormalities in otoliths can impact growth and survival in teleost fishes. Here, we quantified the frequency and severity of developmental anomalies in otoliths of delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), a critically endangered estuarine ...

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2023 For many imperiled species, comparisons between wild and cultured populations are invaluable for informing conservation measures, though opportunities to do so may be rare. In this study, we asked whether spawning between and among wild and cultured Delta Smelt varies in terms of behavior or resulting egg fertilization success.

Factors Controlling Calanoid Copepod Biomass and Distribution in the Upper San Francisco Estuary and Implications for Managing the Imperiled Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). [PDF]
Environ Manage, 2020 AbstractDelta smelt struggle to persist in a dramatically altered estuarine environment. Complex and incompletely understood relationships between food availability, environmental stressors, other components of the species’ habitat, and the abundance of delta smelt impede the effective management and recovery of the species.

Linking Hydrodynamic Complexity to Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) Distribution in the San Francisco Estuary, USA [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2016 doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2016v14iss1art3Long-term fish sampling data from the San Francisco Estuary were combined with detailed three-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling to investigate the relationship between historical fish catch and hydrodynamic complexity.

Space‐for‐time is not necessarily a substitution when monitoring the distribution of pelagic fishes in the San Francisco Bay‐Delta [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Occupancy models are often used to analyze long‐term monitoring data to better understand how and why species redistribute across dynamic landscapes while accounting for incomplete capture.

Loss of plasticity in maturation timing after ten years of captive spawning in a delta smelt conservation hatchery [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Adaptation to captivity in spawning programs can lead to unintentional consequences, such as domestication that results in reduced fitness in the wild.

Diet, Prey Selection, and Body Condition of Age-0 Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus, in the Upper San Francisco Estuary [PDF]
San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2014 Steven B. Slater and Randall D. Baxterdoi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2014v12iss3art1The Delta Smelt, an endangered fish, has suffered a long-term decline in abundance, believed to result from, in part, to changes in the pelagic food web of the upper San Francisco Estuary.
