The Bureau of Reclamation is offering this grant to conduct a crucial study on the health and survival of delta smelt. This grant, totaling $338,717, is for the purpose of understanding summer growth and condition of delta smelt and how key habitat factors influence their survival within the Cache Slough Complex, Suisun Bay, and Confluence regions. Principal objectives include comparing nutritional status, contaminant exposure biomarkers, and pathogen incidence among regions. It will also examine the effects of these parameters on overall fish health and evaluate the association of water quality features with delta smelt growth and condition. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of delta smelt biology in critical rearing areas.
