English term or phrase: "salmon stream"

Ecological entities are irrelevant to the assessment (e.g., lake fish in salmon stream)

No he logrado encontrar el nombre específico. ¿Quizás sea el salmón del Pacífico que sube a desovar contra la corriente? Pero, ¿es solo el salmón del Pacífico o hay otros? ¿Habrá que usar una perífrasis, del tipo, salmón que desova contra la corriente?

Se trata de un manual sobre evaluación del riesgo de organismos vivos modificados.

Muchas gracias

rutas migratorias fluviales en contracorriente para el desove del salmón

Explanation:
las entidades ecológicas son irrelevantes para la evaluación (ejemplo, peces lacustres en ***rutas migratorias fluviales en contracorriente para el desove del salmón***)

Explicación:

el salmón es un pez fluvial en su ciclo de reproducción y no un pez lacustre

flujo fluvial en el que nadan a contracorriente los salmones

Explanation:
Creo que el inglés es muy sintético para este término y en español es necesario utilizar una perífrasis. Del mismo modo, yo utilizaría "peces de agua dulce" para "lake fish" por el contexto en el que aparece tu propuesta:

"Common Problems in Selecting Assessment Endpoints
· Endpoint is a goal (e.g., maintain and restore endemic populations)
· Endpoint is vague (e.g., estuarine integrity instead of eelgrass abundance and distribution)
· Ecological entity is better as a measure (e.g., emergence of midges can be used to evaluate an assessment endpoint for fish feeding behavior)
· Ecological entity may not be as sensitive to the stressor (e.g., catfish versus salmon for sedimentation)
· Ecological entity is not exposed to the stressor (e.g., using insectivorous birds for avian risk of pesticide application to seeds)
· Ecological entities are irrelevant to the assessment (e.g., **lake fish in salmon stream**)
· Importance of a species or attributes of an ecosystem are not fully considered.
· Attribute is not sufficiently sensitive for detecting important effects (e.g., survival compared with recruitment for endangered species)"
