摘要:A decision support system that integrates hydrology, water quality and anadromous fish production has been developed for the mainstem Klamath River, Oregon and California, USA. The Systems Impact Assessment Model (SIAM) analyses identified a recurring annual hydrograph shape for Iron Gate Dam releases that consistently yielded greater predicted fish production estimates. Applying the altered flow pattern in some simulations resulted in increased fish production estimates ranging from 3 to 605 % compared to an unaltered or historical hydrograph. Altering the Iron Gate Dam hydrograph may provide a positive management tool for increasing the production of Chinook salmon in the mainstem Klamath River.
