Detailed SR Function Description
Bioenergetic-based velocity habitat suitability curve for 12-cm fork length (~21.2 g) juvenile Coho Salmon. Suitability is net energy intake (gross energy intake from drifting prey minus swimming and metabolic costs) predicted by a drift-foraging model, standardized to a maximum of 1 (rescaled here to 100). Unlike frequency-based curves, suitability is 0 at zero velocity (no prey flux), peaks at intermediate velocity, and falls to 0 where swimming costs exceed intake; larger fish have higher optimal and maximum velocities. Bioenergetic curves better matched observed flow-related changes in Bingham Creek smolt production than frequency-based curves.

Function Derivation
Mechanistic drift-foraging bioenergetic (net energy intake) model, standardized to a maximum of 1.
Transferability of Function
Sensitive to drift concentration, temperature (fixed at 12°C) and fish size; best suited to drift-feeding juvenile salmonids.
Source of stressor Data
Drift-foraging bioenergetic model (Hughes & Dill 1990 framework) run over homogeneous depth-velocity fields; drift concentrations from Husdon Creek, BC; fixed 12°C.
Function Type
continuous
Stressor Scale
linear
