Summary

The Willamette River Basin, Oregon, supports native fish species and non-native fish species introduced for sport fisheries or accidentally from aquarium releases and other sources. Based on fish surveys completed from 1998 to 2018 by Oregon State University and records from the Oregon State University Ichthyology Collection, the Willamette River Basin has 34 native fish species found upstream of the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers and 28 non-native fish species. Each native and non-native fish species has its own thermal tolerances and diet, spawning, and vertical preference traits. This means that distributions of native and non-native fishes along the river network are shaped by physical factors (such as water temperature, [...]

Purpose

Information for native and non-native riverine fish species was compiled for the Willamette River Basin, Oregon, to support monitoring, research, and habitat restoration efforts in the basin. This compilation can be used to understand differences in species traits and relations between fish distributions and site-scale habitat conditions.
