Steelhead Distribution and Range - Summer

View larger...

File Size: 3.6 MB

Publication date: 10/8/2009

This data set depicts observation-based stream-level geographic distribution of anadromous summer-run steelhead trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus (O. mykiss), in California. This data set represents stream reaches that are known or believed to be used by steelhead based on steelhead observations. Thus, it contains only positive steelhead occurrences. The absence of distribution on a stream does not necessarily indicate that steelhead do not utilize that stream. Additionally, steelhead may not be found in all streams or reaches each year. This is due to natural variations in run size, water conditions, and other environmental factors. The information in this data set should be used as an indicator of steelhead presence/suspected presence at the time of the observation as indicated by the 'Late_Yr' (Latest Year) field attribute. Please read the metadata thoroughly before using this data set. Steelhead Distribution - Summer is a product of the CalFish sponsored Anadromous Distribution Program.
