SOS · A ONCE-A-DECADE REPORT
The only statewide assessment
of California’s native salmon,
steelhead, and trout.
CalTrout, in partnership with UC Davis, has produced two once-a-decade State of the Salmonids reports — comprehensive scientific assessments of all 32 native salmon, steelhead, and trout species in California.
These reports are the only analyses of their kind. Their message is clear: without action, California risks losing its native fish.
In 2027, CalTrout will release SOS III, building on assessments from 2008 and 2017 to track trends over time — using a proven, peer-informed methodology trusted by
agencies and academic institutions.

In their Words
“The State of the Salmonids has become the gold standard for understanding the condition of California’s native salmon, steelhead, and trout. At a moment when our rivers are changing faster than ever, SOS III will give decision makers, communities, and partners the clear-eyed science they need to focus resources where they can still make the biggest difference.”
Curtis Knight/Executive Director of California Trout
