Abstrakt: | Last summer, a narrow, rock-rimmed stretch of the Sacramento River near Redding, Calif., turned into a mass graveyard for baby salmon. Upstream releases of water from Shasta Dam were so warm that virtually an entire generation of endangered winter-run chinook ("winter-run" refers to the season when the adults enter freshwater) was wiped out. The eggs never hatched or, if they did, the emerging young soon died. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
