“…Higher metabolic rates require adequate food to maintain higher growth rates. Our observations of higher prey densities in the warmer off-channel habitats are congruent with previous research on innundated floodplains (Gladden and Smock 1990;Sommer et al 2001) and shallow habitat interfaces (Welcomme 1979). We expected to see greater stomach fullness in habitats with greater prey densities due to higher feeding rates.…”

“…This result is interesting in the light of previous work on the benefits of alternative habitat for juvenile salmonids. Our results based on otolith microstructure support the findings of previous studies using alternative methods to evaluate growth improvements such as changes in abundance (Simenstad and Cordell 2000), change-in-length of fish (Swales et al 1986;Murray and Rosenau 1989) and mark/recapture techniques (Sommer et al 2001;Wigington et al 2006).…”

“…A desired response from restoring juvenile rearing habitats is increased fish growth and energy reserves, which correspond to increased survival in the ocean (Duffy and Beauchamp 2011;Woodson et al 2013). Evidence from within the Central Valley demonstrates that salmon reared on floodplains experience accelerated growth relative to individuals reared in more channelized habitats (Sommer et al 2001). Throughout the Delta, restoring shallow water habitats is expected to be important for fry migrants, depending on the response of the warm water predator community.…”
