Chinook salmon arrived in the Guadalupe River watershed (which includes Los Gatos Creek) as Central Valley hatchery strays in the 1980s. While a 1992-1994 genetic study of 29 fish claimed that some had haplotypes not found in Central Valley wild or hatchery salmon, but found in the Russian River, it was later determined that the methodology used was insufficient and provided inaccurate results. Chinook salmon in the Guadalupe River are closely related to Central Valley fall-run Chinook with a genetic affinity to the Feather River hatchery and genetically differentiated from coastal populations.
