Biologists who study fish in the tributaries of West Marin said the winter’s heavy rain is fueling a healthy population of endangered coho salmon smolts as they make their way from the creeks of their birth out to the ocean.
Brown and intern Nyna Hong count each fish, collecting their measurement and weight. SPAWN has been conducting the research for more than a decade, providing years of population statistics to compare.
The year’s abundance of water and its coho population boom stand in contrast to the adult salmon that returned to the creeks over the winter to spawn. Those fish departed the creeks three years ago during a time of severe drought.
