This paper develops an automated system using deep learning to estimate morphometric measurements and predict weight of juvenile Chinook Salmon from 2D images with high accuracy.

The study tests if field preparation methods in agricultural floodplains affect survival and growth of juvenile Chinook salmon, finding no significant differences among treatments.

The paper introduces the concept of 'foodscapes' to describe how food abundance, accessibility, and foraging costs vary in river networks, affecting fish growth and population stability.

The paper investigates thiamine and its metabolites (dTRCs) in Sacramento River spawning habitats, linking microbial communities to thiamine availability for Chinook salmon.
