Effects of sediment transport on intergravel flow and egg survival in silt-rich spawning beds

Previous studies have shown fine sediment was removed from spawning beds when salmon dug nests and subsequent sediment deposition can re-clog the nests, which reduces intergravel flow and threatens egg survival. In the intensively logged Cascapedia watershed it is not known if there is enough sed...
