Detailed SR Function Description
Site selection probability for Coho Salmon spawning (spawning habitat suitability) based on percent gravel-pebble substrate coverage.

Model:
Spawning Site Selection Probability = [Percent gravel-pebble] * [pool-riffle vs run-riffle] habitat * [Redds nearby]

Data file from pool-riffle; PROX=1 (redds already nearby)
Function Derivation
Regression model from field data.
Transferability of Function
Direction and magnitude likely transferable
Source of stressor Data
Field data
Function Type
continuous
Stressor Scale
linear
