Population Viability Analysis of Riverine Fishes
Roadmap
PPT Slide
Different models are appropriate for rare species vs. common species
...but some things don’t change.
Simple demographic PVA
Riverine environmental-states PVA
Markov simulation of future hydrology
Hydrology influences survival during early life stages.
Fish face a summer DO-temperature squeeze in some reservoirs.
Metapopulation dynamics are important
Simulated fragmentation increased extinction risk.
Migration is important.
Risk of entrainment mortality depends on hydrology and fish size
