Until 2003, educators attending the American River Salmon Festival Teacher Workshop were provided a copy of Some Things Fishy, A Teacher’s Guide for the Feather River Fish Hatchery, developed by California Department of Water Resources for the Feather River Hatchery program. It was the goal of the Schools Day Committee to produce materials specifi c to the salmon of the American River watershed. Materials distributed for grades K-8 focus on increasing the student understanding of salmon ecology and resource conservation. In 2003, a special Sports Fish Restoration Grant provided the funding to accomplish this goal. This guide provides background materials specifi c to the American River watershed. The activity guide targets grades Kindergarten through 8th grade, is correlated to the California Educational Content Standards, and contains assessment tools. The guide was developed using materials and adaptations from a variety of sources, each source is noted at the conclusion of the activity. Activities are arranged in units and are placed in order of complexity. Each activity provides the educator with background information and requires minimal preparation. There is an assessment with each activity as well as an overall assessment at the end of the guide. Refer to the Acknowledgements This activity guide is the product of the American River Salmon Festival Schools Day Committee which represents a partnership of agencies with an educational commitment.

Their unique migratory behavior is believed to have originated over 10,000 Salmon are fi sh.

  • Riverine Nutrient Trends in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Basins, California
    Peer Reviewed Title: Riverine Nutrient Trends in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Basins, California: A Comparison to State and Regional Water Quality Policies Journal Issue: San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 13(4) Author: Schlegel, Brandon, California State University, Sacramento Domagalski, Joseph L., U.S Geological Survey, California Water Science Center Publication Date: 2015 Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/4c37m6vz Keywords: Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta, nutrients, nitrogen, phosphorus, nutrient transport, nutrient loads, agricultural drainage Local Identifier: jmie_sfews_29499 Abstract: doi: http://dx.doi.org/1015447/sfews.2015v13iss4art2 Non-point source (NPS) contaminant control strategies were initiated in California in the late 1980s under the authority of the State Porter–Cologne Act and eventually for the development of total maximum daily load (TMDL) plans, under the federal Clean Water Act. Most of the NPS TMDLs developed for California’s Central Valley (CV) region were related to pesticides, but not nutrients. Efforts to reduce pesticide loads and concentrations began in earnest around 1990. The NPS control strategies either encouraged or mandated the use of management practices (MPs). Although TMDLs were largely developed for pesticides, the resultant MPs might have affected the runoff of other potential contaminants (such as nutrients). This study evaluates the effect of agricultural NPS control strategies implemented in California’s CV before and between 1990 and 2013, on nutrients, by comparing trends in surface-water concentrations and loads. In general, use of MPs was encouraged during a “voluntary” period (1990 to 2004) and mandated during an “enforcement” period (2004 to 2013). Nutrient concentrations, loads, and trends were estimated by using a recently developed Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) model.

  • Diel Horizontal Migration in Streams: Juvenile fish Exploit Spatial Heterogeneity in Thermal and Trophic Resources
    Ecology, 94(9), 2013, pp. 2066–2075 Ó 2013 by the Ecological Society of America Diel horizontal migration in streams: Juvenile fish exploit spatial heterogeneity in thermal and trophic resources 1,5 1 1,2 3 1 JONATHAN B.

Vertical heterogeneity in the physical characteristics of lakes and oceans is ecologically salient and exploited by a wide range of taxa through diel vertical migration to enhance their growth and survival. Whether analogous behaviors exploit horizontal habitat heterogeneity in streams is largely unknown. We investigated fish movement behavior at daily timescales to explore how individuals integrated across spatial variation in food abundance and water temperature. Juvenile coho salmon made feeding forays into cold habitats with abundant food, and then moved long distances (350–1300 m) to warmer habitats that accelerated their metabolism and increased their assimilative capacity. This behavioral thermoregulation enabled fish to mitigate trade-offs between trophic and thermal resources by exploiting thermal heterogeneity. Fish that exploited thermal heterogeneity grew at substantially faster rates than did individuals that assumed other behaviors.

  • Trees for Good Fall Color
    Selecting Trees for Good Fall Color he fall or spring of the year is an excellent time to plant deciduous trees. Although weather conditions can affect the intensity and actual fall color that will develop on T the leaves from year to year, much of it has to do with the type of tree you plant and its genetic makeup. If you are looking for trees to add to your landscape that produce consistent good fall color from year to year, please refer to the list of some recommended shade and ornamental trees below. This list contains trees that will, in most years, turn a variety of brilliant shades of red, orange, scarlet, and/or purplish-red in autumn. Large trees American Sweetgum Black Gum (Nyssa (Liquidambar styraciflua)- sylvatica)- Yellow to Yellowish-purple-red; orange to scarlet to purple select seedless cultivars. shades. Gingko or Maidenhair Red Maple (Acer rubrum)- (Gingko biloba)- Excellent Colors will vary from red- clear yellow. orange red depending on specific cultivar. Sugar Maple (Acer Katsura Tree (Cercidi- saccharum)- Brilliant phyllum japonicum)- yellow, burnt orange to Yellow-soft apricot-orange. reds. White Oak (Quercus alba)- Common Baldcypress Brown to a rich red to wine (Taxodium distichum)- Soft color. brown to orangish-brown. Linden (Tilia)- Yellow-green American Yellowwood to yellowish.
