Abstract Coastal estuaries globally, including the San Francisco Estuary (SFE), are experiencing significant degradation, often resulting in fisheries collapses. The SFE has undergone profound modifications due to population growth...

... Smelt monitoring San Francisco Estuary To assess survival, growth, and tag retention, the fish were measured for fork length and evaluated for tag presence every 30 days for 120 days beginning after the last day of tagging. On day 60, tag assessment and fork length measurements were suspended after...

... The San Francisco Estuary (SFE) is one of the most degraded ecosystems in the United States, and organisms that inhabit it are exposed to a suite of environmental stressors. The delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), a small semi-anadromous fish endemic to the SFE and considered an indicator...
