CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — A study of mountain streams in the West over the past 60 years finds the hottest temperatures of summer and the lowest water levels of fall are converging — which is bad news for salmon.
The authors say the convergence gives salmon less time to recover from the stress of warm water before the stress of low water hits — 20 to 30 days less time.
