Topic	Fish: Outmigrant Steelhead Catch by Fork Length in Elk Creek 2001

 

Caption:  This chart shows length frequency of steelhead captured from March 12 to May 30, 2001 by Mendocino Redwood Company (2002) in Elk Creek. A total of 3,019 steelhead were trapped, with 421 YOY and 2598 1+ fish. Steelhead lengths ranged from 23-220 mm (mean = 87 mm). MRC defined YOY steelhead lengths for the range of 23-54mm (light green bars, mean = 30 mm). Age 1+ steelhead lengths ranged from 55-220 mm (light blue bars, mean = 96 mm). The histogram shows a bimodal relationship between YOY and 1+ steelhead, according to MRC (2002). A length of 100 mm is often considered the break point between young of the year and yearling California steelhead (Shapovalov and Taft, 1954). No scales samples were taken by MRC to verify age. Data provided Mendocino Redwood Company. See Info Links for more information.
