Pacific Salmon Bring It All Back Home

Abstract

Jeff Cederholm has been spending a lot of his time with dead fish. During the past few years, he has studied hundreds of coho salmon carcasses in dozens of streams. He has tracked the bodies using radio telemetry and spent hours in blinds to see which creatures eat the carcasses. He has even used night-vision goggles to observe bobcats dining on deceased coho after dark.
