Talk:Delta smelt

Problem with Delta Smelt Article
The article references a 2009 study which claims that only 5,000 jobs had been lost due to curtailment of water deliveries on account of the Delta smelt. However, it also says that the smelt wasn't listed as a California endangered species until 2010. It was after 2010 that the major curtailing of water deliveries occurred. Therefore, the number of jobs lost prior to the 2009 study seems close to irrelevant.

What is a BioOp/BiOp?
The article uses the term BioOp without defining it or having a link for it. Reading one of the sources, it probably stands for Biological Opinion, but I'm not sure. There is also one use of the term BiOp, which may be a typo of BioOp, or something else. BartonM (talk) 00:27, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Likely devastating effects of the new water bill
Are there motions to mitigate the consequences of the new bill? --Perofsez (talk) 21:34, 3 January 2017 (UTC) Congress sends major California water policy to President Obama, despite Sen. Barbara Boxer's objections

Wakasagi
Why doesn't this article also include the introduction of the Japanese wakasagi smelt to California by the California Fish and Wildlife Service and how that negatively impacted Delta Smelt populations? There already is an article about the Wakasagi Smelt on Wikipedia that covers this, but no mention in the Delta Smelt article. Grunschild (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2018 (UTC)
