The South American floating aquatic plant water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) has a history
of worldwide invasions, including a 1904 introduction into the Sacramento-San Joaquin …

We examined factors affecting fish entrainment at California's State Water Project and Central
Valley Project, two of the largest water diversions in the world. Combined, these diversions …

Estuarine food webs are highly variable and complex, making identification of their trophic
pathways difficult. Energy for the food web of the San Francisco Estuary is thought to be …

Recruitment of estuarine organisms can vary dramatically from year to year with abiotic and
biotic conditions. The San Francisco Estuary (California, USA) supports a dynamic …

The biomass of fish populations is often calculated from abundance-by-length data using
length–weight (LW) relationships from separate studies (eg, from the literature). Estimates of …

Food limitation can dampen the survival and growth of fish species during early development.
To investigate prey diversity important to the planktivorous larval longfin smelt (Spirinchus …

The southern-most reproducing Longfin Smelt population occurs in the San Francisco Estuary,
California, USA. Long-term monitoring of estuarine habitat for this species has generally …

While there is substantial information about the upstream migration of commercially and
recreationally important fishes, relatively little is known about the upstream migration of small-…

Productivity of the food web supporting small pelagic fishes in the upper San Francisco Estuary
is chronically low, and some of the native fish species are in a long-term decline. The low-…

We examined the spatial and temporal variability of native and alien ichthyoplankton in three
habitat types (marsh edge, shallow open-water, and river channel) in one reference and …
