Record-setting drought threatens salmon survival

Greenwire (Jan. 8, 2014) - Salmon are going to have a hard time making it through this year’s drought, even though they are adapted to survive from wet to dry years, says Peter Moyle, a fish biologist and associate director of the University of California, Davis' Center for Watershed Sciences. With dams preventing them from getting to pools of water downstream, he said, “there's less hope of recolonization."
