Updates included in this minor update:

Data Updates

  • Updates survival data objects to stay current with the survival model updates
  • Adds genetics data pulled from EDI and creates a new genetic data object
  • Updates Yuba adult data to pull from EDI
  • Updates Feather River 2025 adult estimate per guidance from DWR
  • Updates Battle and Clear 2025/2026 efficiency data
  • Implements end of 2025/2026 RST season QC
  • Pulls updated RST and environmental data objects to get most recent available data

Logic Updates

  • Decouples flow and and water temperature data pulls, processing remains the same, now two tables, flow_data and temperature_data instead of the one environmental_data
  • Updates years to include vignette to focus on documentation, moves code logic to produce rst_model_yearsand adult_model_years tables into a standalone helper data script. These tables now take the place of years_to_include_rst_data, years_to_exclude_rst_data, years_to_include_adult_data, and years_to_exclude_adult_data
  • Produces a series of QC reports
  • Removes passage to spawner datasets, adds to new p2s model repo

Documentation Updates

  • Adds RST protocols to the site vignette documentation
  • Updates ruleset vignettes to focus on simplified documentation
  • Combines covariate vignettes into one article

Updates included in this patch:

The patch updates the criteria for “years to exclude” to remove years with less than 3 weeks with catch data which results in the following changes.

  • Updates years_to_include_rst_data: adds Feather River (Herringer Riffle) 2026 and removes Mill Creek 2025
  • Updates years_to_exclude_rst_data: adds Mill Creek 2025 (21 weeks sampled, 1 week with catch data) and updates Mill Creek 2026 number of weeks sampled (16 → 17); removes Feather River (Herringer Riffle) 2026 as this year meets the criteria
  • Updates years_to_include_adult: corrects Yuba River 2023 upstream passage count (0 → 348) and adds Yuba River 2024 upstream passage count (668)

This release contains: - RST (including mark recapture trials) data through the 2025/2026 monitoring season (2025/2026 is still considered preliminary). - Adult estimates through 2025 (aligns with 2025/2026 juvenile data), except for Yuba River which has data through 2024 - Updated flow and water temperature data through May 2026

This dataset will be used to develop a manuscript for the BTSPAS-X model.

Patches are planned for May-June 2026 that involve improvements to water temperature data processing and package documentation. The 2025/2026 RST data is expected to be finalized by July 2026 and released as a minor update to this version.

Updates included in this patch: - Adds temperature regression vignette - Fixes some issues with environmental data prep

Beta release of Spring Run Juvenile Production Estimate Datasets. The data produced by this package is intended to be used with the SRJPEmodel package.
