To assist in habitat restoration, we conducted a literature survey to compile quantitative measures of rearing and spawning habitat characteristics for salmonid fishes in streams. From our search we found 70 studies that provided quantitative measures of habitat characteristics. Of these studies, 37 reported microhabitats selected for rearing, over a wide range of stream conditions, resulting in measures for 9 species. The 33 remaining studies reported microhabitats selected for spawning, resulting in measures for 13 species. The most common variables measured in these studies were water depth and velocity. Substrate composition was relatively well described for spawning site selection, and for rearing areas. Space requirements or territory size for juvenile salmonids is reasonable well reported in the literature, but with few measures for salmonids of the Pacific Northwest. Measures of territory size for spawning adults is almost non-existent. As a surrogate measure of spawning space requirements, redd area...
