Life Stage

Detailed SR Function Description
Fry stage: Survivorship through the fry stage to the overwintering stage is influenced by summer water temperatures (see reviews by McCullough, 1999; Richter & Kolmes, 2005). This survivorship function is developed for stream-type chinook by McHugh, Budy & Schaller (2004) based on data from Brett (1952), McCormick, Hokanson & Jones (1972), and Coutant (1973):

Surv = exp{-((Tsum)/(27.0271))^10.74} if Tsum > 17.8
Surv = 1 if Tsum ≤ 17.8

Where Tsum is mean daily temperature (oC) August–September.
Function Type
continuous
Stressor Scale
linear
