Thiamine deficiency was first detected in California's Central Valley Chinook salmon fry in early 2020, and has since been documented in at least some of California's steelhead, coho and Chinook salmon populations every year since then.  This session invited presentations on any aspects of thiamine deficiency relevant to this emergent stressor on California's salmon and steelhead.
