Potential Indices for Future Development
Remaining indices are in very early stages of development or have not yet begun to be developed. These include:
| 1. |
An index of Columbia River flow |
| |
| 2. |
Predictors of coho and spring Chinook jack returns
|
| |
| 3. |
Indices based on salmon feeding and growth |
| |
| 4. |
Indices based on salmon health (diseases and parasites)
|
| |
| 5. |
Indices that estimate zooplankton production rates, such as
- Euphausiid growth rates from direct measurement of molting rates
- Euphausiid growth rates from cohort developmental rates
- Copepod growth rates from direct measurement of Calanus egg production rates
- Copepod growth rates from empirical growth equations
