Computation of fish larvae self-recruitment in using forward- and backward-in-time particle tracking in a Lagrangian model (SWIM-v2.0) of the simulated circulation of Lake Erie (AEM3D-v1.1.2) Abstract. Accurately estimating self-recruitment (SR), which is the fraction of recruits at a location that originated locally, is fundamental to understanding population connectivity. Biophysical mod...

Scott River study: flow metrics explain about half of salmon recruitment variability, but species respond to different flow components A Scott River empirical study presented results showing lasso regression models explained roughly 40% of coho smolt per female and roughly 60% of Chinook juvenile abundance in selected model runs; authors cautioned results are sensitive to sample size and multiple ecological drivers exist.

A groundbreaking study reveals that flow metrics can explain up to 60% of salmon recruitment variability, shedding light on the intricate relationship between water management and fish populations.
