Carlson, Chair Professor Vincent H. Resh Professor Mark T. Stacey Spring 2018 The management and ecology of Oncorhynchus spp. and other estuarine-dependent native California fishes in artificially and naturally disconnected aquascapes Copyright 2018 by Eric Huber ABSTRACT The management and ecology of Oncorhynchus spp. and other estuarine-dependent native California fishes in artificially and naturally disconnected aquascapes by Eric Huber Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Science, Policy, and Management University of California, Berkeley Professor Stephanie M. Carlson, Chair In this dissertation I investigate the impacts of artificial and natural watershed disconnection on the management and ecology of valued native California fishes. I explore the subject at regional and local scales and pay particular attention to the consequences of river discontinua on juvenile rearing and habitat use patterns for multiple populations of Pacific salmonids with conservation and economic importance. Scientific inquiry in my study systems was initially motivated by the intention to comprehend the potential direct and indirect links between connectivity loss and collapsed hatchery-supported Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) commercial and recreational fisheries and recurring widespread animal mass mortality events involving the take of threatened O. mykiss at one of California's few remaining estuary-saltmarsh habitat complexes.

In estuarine systems, sulfur (S) is a macroelement of great environmental importance. The production and oxidation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are highly impacted by biogeochemical and physical conditions, including redox conditions and pH. For decades, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been recognized as a major contaminant in estuarine systems due to its direct (toxicity) and indirect (oxidative) effects on aquatic and

Power, Chair Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) are an iconic genus of anadromous fish whose decline over the last century has linked indigenous peoples, government agencies, fishers, advocates, and scientists in the common, albeit messy, cause of salmon recovery. While the history of ecology, and the earliest research on Pacific salmon, is grounded in the understanding that food web and prey dynamics control the abundance and distribution of predators, the last half-century of salmon management has focused primarily on hatchery production and physical habitat suitability. The continued decline of Pacific salmon, after decades of efforts to restore
