The model used outputs from the hydrodynamic model SELFE as a virtual environment. There were several submodels, including a movement model that simulated Lagrangian transport and active swimming and a bioenergetics model that computed growth. A predation model was also developed to explore potential impacts of avian predators on survival. Migration was simulated for yearling and subyearling Chinook salmon, and swimming behaviors were developed based on assumptions regarding habitat usage. Yearling Chinook salmon behaviors optimized efficient migration, while subyearling Chinook salmon behaviors prioritized growth. Passive drift and random walk behaviors for both life-history types served as null models to compare the more sophisticated behaviors against. 000008056 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008056 650__ $$aEstuaries$$040221 000008056 650__ $$aRivers$$035650 000008056 650__ $$aHydrodynamics$$038932 000008056 650__ $$aSalmon$$025679 000008056 650__ $$aEcosystem$$030218 000008056 650__ $$aDecision Making$$017417 000008056 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008056 692__ $$aDepartment of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems$$041414 000008056 7001_ $$aMorrice, Katherine J. 000008056 8564_ $$9d5fe9c0e-7ca1-4f51-bc36-79539551eb64$$s7580311$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8056/files/Morrice.Katherine.2020.pdf 000008056 905__ $$a/rest/prod/x0/59/c7/86/x059c786m 000008056 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8056$$pstudent-work 000008056 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
