Steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss display a dizzying array of lite history variation (including the purely resident form, rainbow trout), We developed a model for female steelhead in coastal California (close to the southern boundary of their range) in small coastal streams. We combined proximate (physiological) and ultimate (expected reproductive success) considerations to generalize the notion of a threshold size for emigration or maturity through the development of a state-dependent life history theory. The model involves strategies that depend on age, size or condition, and recent rates of change in size or condition during specific periods (decision windows) in advance of the actual smolting or spawning event. This is the first study in which such a model is fully parameterized based oil data collected entirely front California steelhead populations, the majority of data coming from two watersheds the rnouths of whose rivers are separated by less than 8 kin along the coast of Santa Cruz County. We predicted the occurrence of resident life histories and the distribution of sizes and ages at smolting for steelhead rearing in the upstream habitats of these streams. We compared these predictions with empirical results and show that the theory call explain the observed pattern and variation.
