Fish and Wildlife documents

Where available, key species guidance documents (recovery plans, monitoring plans, etc.) are provided for each individual Strategy Species and found within the Strategy Species. Selected fish and wildlife references consulted by ODFW are listed in this section below. For plants, invertebrates, and nearshore references, see the Strategy Species Methods.

Fish

ODFW maintains distribution and survey information on many of Oregon’s native fish. For additional information, see the Corvallis Research Lab and ODFW Data Clearinghouse.
The ODFW Conservation and Recovery Program has produced several comprehensive conservation planning documents. Sections describe the current status of the populations, key and secondary limiting factors and threats, actions to address the limiting factors, and monitoring and research needs. In the recovery plans, there is also a section describing specific population recovery goals. The guidance documents are available online:
- Oregon Coastal coho: serves as Oregon’s portion of federal recovery planning.
- Rogue spring Chinook
- Mid-Columbia steelhead: serves as Oregon’s portion of federal recovery planning and includes a discussion of the potential impacts of climate change on particular stream segments throughout the planning area.
- Lower Columbia fall Chinook, spring Chinook, chum, coho, winter steelhead, and summer steelhead: serves as Oregon’s portion of federal recovery planning and includes some discussion of potential climate impacts.
- Upper Willamette spring Chinook and winter steelhead: serves as Oregon’s portion of federal recovery planning and includes some discussion of potential climate impacts.
- Rogue/South Coast fall Chinook
- Lower Columbia/coastal white sturgeon
- Coastal Chinook, spring Chinook, chum, winter steelhead, summer steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout: an extensive discussion on how to prioritize habitat protection and habitat restoration work; incorporates an analysis of species distribution and potential habitat quality for each species to rank basin sections at the HUC 6 level.
