N-412 California's Salmon and Steelhead Edited by Alan Lufkin Millions upon
millions of salmon and steelhead once filled California streams, providing a plentiful and

and irrigation diversions have reduced natural spawning habitat from from an estimated
6,000 miles to less than 300. River pollution has also hit hard at fish populations, which
within recent decades have diminished by 80 percent. This volume documents the reasons for
the decline; it also offers practical suggestions about how the decline might be reversed
