Project Description
The Sacramento perch (SP) is a native sunfish that once was abundant, but is now extirpated from almost all of its former habitats throughout the Sacramento-San Joaquin watershed. Recovery strategies for SP in the San Francisco Estuary have been proposed for study, but have not been developed because of the general lack of knowledge or interest. This project proposes to summarize existing information on survival of introduced populations, and identify habitats that might provide new refuges. In addition, we expect to develop reestablishment strategies for SP, including analysis of institutional, physical, and biological barriers to their reintroduction into the San Francisco Estuary and Central Valley.
