Summary

This page requires further development. The goal of this page is to have two major sections for acquiring information about anadromous species and their habitat in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). One can give you geographical information about a single species accross the entire region, the other will provide a more ecological context by describing the anadromous species present in a specific location within this large region.

Special Note: There will likely be more information and more accurate information available for species of special concern (state and federally listed species), and useful sources of information include federal and state department prepared documents.

1. The first section should be titled (Species Range) and it should list all anadromous species that occur in this one region of the United States (i.e., WA, OR, CA) have a brief description of their range, a map of their range, and a link to a species-specific page if it exists. At the bottom of this section there will be a list of species declared extinct in this region since the beginning of record keeping.

2. The second section, which may end up being a separate page, should have three subheadings to organize the information by state, and under each state subheading there should be a list of MAJOR waterbodies, watersheds, and hydrologic features of the state. Paired with these waterbodies should be a downloadable source or link to a source which clearly describes the species present.


Species in California can be found here.[1] California is separated into 10 Hydrologic Regions including and management strategies for anadromous species varies throughout these regions.

Anadromous Salmonids

  • Coho salmon
  • Coastal Cutthroat trout
  • Chinook salmon
  • Chum Salmon
  • Pink Salmon
  • Sockeye salmon
  • Steelhead

Other Anadromous Fishes

  • American shad
  • Eulachon
  • White sturgeon
  • Green sturgeon
  • Pacific Lamprey
