30860 Data Set Published / External 17697 FE (Fish Ecology) Division Project In Work A study to evaluate the role of changing ocean conditions on growth and survival of juvenile salmon from the Columbia River basin as they enter the Columbia River plume and Pacific Northwest coastal habitats. Adult returns vary dramatically (over 10 fold) as a result of changing (good or bad) ocean conditions juveniles experience. Evaluating the benefit of restoration efforts in the Columbia River to restore endangered salmon populations needs to consider ocean conditions as a contributing factor to recovery. This is a large collaborative project with contributions from NWFSC, Oregon State University, and Oregon Health and Science University. The work focuses on three objectives: 1) Determining the distribution, growth, and condition of juvenile Columbia River Chinook and coho salmon in the plume and their ocean environments with associated physical and biological features, and effects on salmon survival via regular spring and summer surveys. 2) Using additional focused surveys to obtain critical pieces of information on predator impacts, specific food resources, biological condition, and means by which juvenile salmon exit the Columbia River estuary. 3) Synthesizing the early ocean ecology of juvenile Columbia River Chinook and coho salmon, test mechanisms that control salmonid growth and survival, and produce ecological indices that forecast salmonid survival. This project provides critical information on marine survival to the Columbia River salmonid management community (hydrosystem, harvest, hatchery, and habitat management) provides environmental indicators useful for forecasting salmon returns, and provides a greater understanding of ecological controls on salmon populations. This is a long-term monitoring and research project initiated in 1998. Species, abundance, and distribution of birds during salmon surveys.

Spreadsheet Yes PARR These tables contain information on the density of seabirds or other animals/objects counted during ship-based visual strip-transect surveys in the California Current Ecosystem. 1 Station_Code VARCHAR2 10 Yes No Active This is the unique database code used to identify an oceanographic station for a given year, month, and day. Units for values are n/a. VARCHAR2 n/a n/a 2 Year VARCHAR2 2 Yes No Active This is the calendar year; add "2000" to get the year, e.g. "3" = "2003", "11" = "2011". Units for values are n/a.

Units for values are kilometers. VARCHAR2 kilometers real number > = 0 8 Area_Surveyed_For_Sums VARCHAR2 16 Yes No Active This is the area covered by the visual survey (in square kilometers) and over which species sightings were summed and assigned to a given station. Units for values are square kilometers. VARCHAR2 square kilometers real number > = 0 9 Density VARCHAR2 16 Yes No Active This is the density, in individuals per square kilometer, assigned to a given survey station. Units for values are individuals per square kilometer. VARCHAR2 individuals per square kilometer real number > = 0 10 Log_Density VARCHAR2 16 Yes No Active This is the logarithm, base 10, of the raw density. Units for values are log (individuals per square kilometer).
