"Hopes are that someday these "brilliant" (Humboldt State) biologists will rejoin the real world and realize that these Klamath system inland salmon live on the southern extremities of the species' range and, if climate trends continue as they have, they are frequently going to encounter inhospitable temperature conditions early in the spawning season. "

Exactly!.

Ceratomyxa Shasta is a natural spore that comes from wetlands areas like the Klamath Basin. Here is an article about the fish kills in 2001. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/news/archive/2001/07/06/state0151EDT0328.DTL
This is nothing special.

Carry - it is interesting you mention canopy as a function of temp. The timber harvest regs they are shooting for are the 85% canopy closure standards. We don't even get those in nature, let alone post harvest.

We have refuted the flow temperature correlation on the Shasta. There are so many hot and cold springs, it just doesn't "hold water" in this system.
