Abstract:

Coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) data in California were reviewed to provide an update of its status. This review was based only on biological information and uses the “best available data” to analyze the current condition of this species. The geographical area covered includes the Central California Coast ESU and the California portion of the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coasts ESU. In previous status reviews, findings were that the Central California Coast ESU was presently in danger of extinction and that the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coasts ESU was likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.

This status review update agrees with previous BRT conclusions. The Central California Coast ESU is presently in danger of extinction. The condition of coho salmon populations in this ESU is worse than indicated by previous reviews. The California portion of the Southern Oregon/Northern California Coasts ESU is likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.
