Research Priorities The Sacramento River Science Partnership Charter includes the following research priorities: Understanding temperature tolerances and other conditions necessary for salmonid egg incubation and early life stages. Understanding non-temperature sources of mortality including, pathogens, predation, lack of suitable spawning habitat, and redd de-watering, among others. Understanding conditions necessary for juvenile spring-run survival. Assessing the quantity, condition and habitat needs of emerging juvenile fry and smolts, including synthesizing information from existing monitoring and advances in genetics and otolith research, and exploring management relevance. Developing decision support tools for species recovery including physical and biological modeling and exploring integration with management questions including understanding effects between species. Understanding research needs associated with reintroductions of winter run Chinook Salmon. Understanding the fishery needs within the Sacramento Mainstem with a focus on salmonids and concern for other species of interest as well. Understanding key physical and engineering constraints associated with operations and diversions.
