Egg Growth Modeling: Spawned Egg to Emerged Fry

Version 2.1.6 [2025-Jul-17]

The salmon egg growth modeling process begins with egg deposition at the time of spawning and ends with fry emergence from the gravel. Development rate and survival can be modeled by various methods to determine fry emergence from the gravel. Multiple models of egg development rate and survival are available on this webpage. The user can specify the data inputs for river temperature and redd/carcass/adult counts, as well as the model parameters. Default parameters values are from studies referenced therein.

Historical temperatures provided by CDEC. Redd and Carcass data provided by CDFW.

For more information, see the Version Details page, and the References - Notes - Data Disclaimer page.

General Instructions:
  1. Make a selection for "Temperature Data" and "Spawning Data".
    Either select from the dark green-blue lists, or click the radio button to choose the "Input or Upload" method to specify the input data.
