Mainstem Trinity River Chinook Salmon Spawning Survey, 2020-2023

Salmon redds and carcasses were surveyed on the mainstem Trinity River, California from Lewiston Dam to the confluence with the Klamath River, during the 2020–2023 spawning seasons to map spawning abundance and distribution, evaluate pre-spawn mortality, and characterize redds by species and spawner origin. These surveys supplemented data that has been collected annually since 2002.
