Adult Chinook salmon have been observed in Acrade Creek, an urban creek located near downtown Sacramento, almost every year" according to local observers.
This raises some questions:
- How many salmon?
- Steelhead also?
- Arrival timing?
- Redd counts?
- Video cameras?
- Number of spawned carcasses
- Fry emergence timing/survival?
- Limiting factors?
- Flow, dissolved oxygen for eggs?
- Sediment embeddedness?
- Restoration project required?
- Enhance gravel augmentation?
- Erosion control/sediment reduction?
Salmon have been spotted at multiple locations along Arcade Creek, several times between December 2015 and December 2016.
