NotesExamines range of Oregon marshes available to juvenile Chinook salmon to compare observed ecological capacity and growth of salmon. Used bioenergetic modeling and fish sampling (2003-2004). Lower marshes "offer opportunities for faster growth than higher elevation marshes." Aerial infrared photographs of study sites in appendix.
