Seeking to provide protections and benefits to San Joaquin origin juvenile salmonids, the 2009 NMFS Biological Opinion imposed a new regulatory export limit: the San Joaquin River inflow to export ratio (I to E ratio). Under the I to E ratio, exports are limited to a fraction of the San Joaquin River inflow, with proportionally less exports in wetter year types. Since 2009, numerous scientific investigations-- particularly acoustic tagging of juvenile salmonids-- have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of the I to E ratio and San Joaquin River inflows. The symposium will discuss the numerous scientific investigations since 2009 — particularly acoustic tagging of juvenile salmonids — that have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of the I to E ratio and San Joaquin River inflows.
Questions on this symposium can be directed to Darcy Austin, Science Manager, State Water Contractors.
