DRERIP Ecosystem Conceptual Model: Longfin smelt

Jonathan Rosenfield | May 1st, 2010


This model describes the importance of stressors on the life history of longfin smelt in the San Francisco Estuary. In addition, the model identifies the degree to which we understand the nature of a relationship between stressors and successful completion of the life cycle (“understanding”) and the certainty surrounding how important a particular stressor is for a particular life stage (“certainty of impact”).
