To answer this question, the authors of this paper took a hard dive into the literature, involving over 4,500 printed estimates of densities of juvenile salmonids in estuaries and floodplains. This data was then used in a habitat expansion approach to estimate historic, current potential and predicted population densities after sea level rise. {\textquotedblleft}We demonstrate the habitat expansion approach by applying the quantiles of observed juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and coho salmon (O. kisutch) densities (fish/ha) to spatial data describing current, historical or potential, and predicted (based on seal level rise) habitat extents for 16 coastal Oregon estuaries to estimate carrying capacities{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract).
